I wonder if anyone has had any experience with this scenario. A person made charitable contribution to donor advised fund and the fund will be given to a public charity. This fund will count for 60% of this public charity's contribution revenue. Will this fund considered to be from public support or individual? Thanks.

I would strongly urge the donor to be sure that the "donor advised fund" is a 501c3 organization; check the IRS publication of 501c3 orgs at the IRS web site.
