Answers.Text: Each "Donor Advised Fund" has a different name. For example, John and Jane Doe have a Donor advised fund with their name in the title. I presume you are not suggesting that I have a financial type for each fund. I could use the financial type field to signal that this is made thru the fund but then where to put the name of the fund?

  This is specifically why soft credit types were introduced. Record the donation as coming from the fund and add a soft credit for the individual. Donor advised fund is one of the types available by default.
