Your gift can change the lives of individuals with vision loss
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle that provides an immediate tax benefit to you and allows you to grant funds to charities of your choice. A donor-advised fund may sound like something that’s only for the ultra-wealthy, but it’s actually accessible to anyone who makes charitable contributions. Think of it as a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about.

No. Donor-Advised Fund grants may not be used to pay for any portion of an event, sponsorship, or membership that provides goods, services, or other benefits to the donor.
No. Tax acknowledgment is provided by the sponsoring organization at the time the contribution is made to the Donor-Advised Fund. The nonprofit receiving the grant will provide confirmation of receipt only.
Donor-Advised Fund grants may not be used to satisfy a legally binding pledge. However, donors may recommend a grant and indicate that it is intended to support an existing commitment.
To ensure timely recognition, please request that your sponsoring organization (Schwab, Fidelity, etc.) include your name with the grant or notify Rebekah Cross, Vice President of Philanthropy, directly at rcross@guidingeyes.org. Anonymous grants may limit our ability to acknowledge your gift.
