Donate from your donor advised fund

As a 501(c)(3) charity, Direct Relief is qualified to receive grants from donor advised funds (DAFs). At the time you contribute to your DAF you receive any available tax benefits for the tax year to which the contribution applies. You can donate from your donor advised fund to Direct Relief by recommending a grant through your fund administrator. Direct Relief offers free access to online forms from Giving Docs to help you give from your DAF.

Is it time to update the beneficiaries on your donor advised fund?

After supporting causes you care about during your lifetime, your DAF might have charitable funds remaining when you pass away. Consider naming Direct Relief as final beneficiary of your giving fund. This is a simple and easy way to make a meaningful impact, and create a lasting legacy.

Contact your fund administrator for instructions on naming Direct Relief as a beneficiary of your DAF. Direct Relief offers free access to online forms from Giving Docs to help you.
