Contributions to Donor-Advised Funds IRS PUB 526
You can't deduct a contribution to a donor-advised fund if:
• You don't have an acknowledgment from that sponsoring organization that it has exclusive legal control over the assets contributed. There are also other circumstances in which you can't deduct your contribution to a donor-advised fund. Generally, a donor-advised fund is a fund or account in which a donor can, because of being a donor, advise the fund how to distribute or invest amounts held in the fund. For details, see
Internal Revenue Code section 170(f)(18)
we can't see the documents you signed or got, so additional clarification would have to come from your advisor.
