This is a fantastic and easy way to double or even triple your donation!

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a mechanism that simplifies the administrative burden of fulfilling your philanthropic objectives. A DAF offers the favorable tax benefits of giving directly to charities with added flexibility around timing of gifts. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.
If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or the Bank of New York Mellon Charitable Fund; DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to the NAE directly from our website by using the DAF Direct Link.
All DAF grant recommendations should be mailed to our secure offsite processing center at:
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can save you income taxes, as well as help minimize your taxable estate and fulfill your philanthropic wishes. The gift amount counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution, and your taxable income is lowered by the amount of your QCD.
Important points to consider:
Please have your IRA plan administrator send a check to:
Accompanying paperwork should identify (1) your name and address, and (2) whether your gift is intended for a specific program or for general unrestricted support.
