About Donor-Advised Funds
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows caring individuals like you to make charitable contributions and receive an immediate tax deduction. The funds are managed by a DAF custodian, and you can recommend grants to your preferred nonprofit organizations.
You can contribute to the fund over time and recommend grants to charities at your discretion, providing flexibility in your giving strategy.
Benefits
- Retain the flexibility to make grant recommendations over time.
- Receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to your fund.
- Make an immediate impact on children we serve.
How it works
- Prepare your grant request by providing the necessary information about our organization to your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) provider.
- Submit the grant request, specifying the amount you wish to donate and any additional details.
- Once approved, your DAF provider distributes the funds to our organization on your behalf.
Following Internal Revenue Code 4967 donor-advised funds cannot be used to pay any portion of a charitable event ticket (full or partial ticket). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your donor-advised fund manager.

Beneficiary designations
Gifting investments and financial accounts not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your loved ones avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give investments, retirement accounts or property while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
