Check with your Human Resources Department to see if your generosity will be made even greater through a match by your employer.

GIVING THROUGH A DONOR-ADVISED FUND (DAF)

We gratefully accept gifts from Donor‑Advised Funds (DAFs). A DAF is a simple and tax‑efficient way to support our work while maximizing your philanthropic impact. If you would like to recommend a grant to us, the steps below can guide you through the process.

HOW TO MAKE A DAF GIFT:

1. Log in to your Donor‑Advised Fund account or use our handy tool above
   Access your DAF through your sponsoring organization (e.g., Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or a community foundation).
2. Search for our organization
   Use the search function to look up our name and EIN/tax ID: 22-3694371. Most major DAF platforms already have us in their database.
3. Recommend your grant
   Select the amount you’d like to give and choose whether this is a one‑time or recurring grant.
4. Specify how the gift should be used (optional)
   If your platform allows, you can specify how you’d like your support used — or designate it for general operating support. Unrestricted gifts give us the most flexibility.
5. Submit your recommendation
   Your DAF sponsor will review and distribute the grant directly to us. Processing typically takes a few days to two weeks.
6. Notify us (optional but helpful!)
   Some DAF gifts arrive without donor information. A quick email helps ensure we can acknowledge your generosity and plan accordingly.

TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING THE IMPACT OF YOUR DAF GIVING:

• Set up recurring or multi‑year grants
  Reliable funding helps us plan ahead and meet ongoing needs throughout the year.
• Consider giving unrestricted support
  General operating gifts provide the greatest flexibility, allowing us to respond to emerging priorities and direct funds where they’re most needed.
• Leverage appreciated assets
  Funding your DAF with long‑term appreciated stock or other non‑cash assets can offer strong tax advantages and increase the total charitable dollars available.
• Use your DAF to respond quickly during urgent moments
  DAFs allow rapid grantmaking, helping us act swiftly when unexpected needs arise.
• Notify us of your recommendation
  Even a quick note ensures your gift’s intent is clear and helps us prepare for incoming support.
• Include us in your DAF’s legacy or successor plan
  Many DAF sponsors allow you to name nonprofits as beneficiaries — a meaningful way to ensure your values continue into the future.
