Make a Gift with a Donor-Advised Fund

The donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a savings account for charitable gifts. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:     

  • Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to PBS Western Reserve.
  • Designate PBS Western Reserve to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.

 

You can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals to support PBS Western Reserve. Just contact your fund administrator to request a distribution or beneficiary form or download the appropriate form(s) from your administrator’s website.

 

 

Creating a Donor-Advised Fund

If you don’t have a donor-advised fund, creating one is simple and can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come.

 

How it works:

You establish a fund at a sponsoring charity. This could be a community foundation, a public charity with a donor-advised fund program, or even one of the well-known investment companies that sponsor donor-advised funds. Check with the fund sponsor about the minimum contribution to start a fund as it ranges from $5,000 to $25,000.

Once established, you can suggest that your favorite charities, like PBS Western Reserve, receive grants from your fund.

If you include PBS Western Reserve in your plans, please let us know and use our legal name and federal tax ID.
