Donor-advised fund questions
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account held by a sponsoring organization, such as a community foundation or the charitable arm of a financial firm. You contribute to the fund, then recommend grants from it to the nonprofits you want to support.
Can I recommend a grant to Our Wave from my DAF?
Yes. Our Wave Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 84-2131836), so it can receive grants from donor-advised funds. Search for us by name or EIN on your sponsor's website.
What should I list as the grant purpose?
General operating support helps most, because it lets us put your gift where survivors need it most. If you'd like to support specific work, email [email protected] first and we'll help you word the grant.
Can my grant be anonymous?
Yes. Most sponsors let you choose whether to share your name with us. If you share it, we'll thank you personally.
Can I set up a recurring grant?
Many sponsors let you schedule recurring grants. A monthly or yearly grant helps us plan ahead.
Will Our Wave send me a tax receipt?
Your sponsor gives you a receipt when you contribute to your fund, since that's when your gift is deductible. Grants from your fund can't be deducted again, so we'll send a thank-you letter instead of a tax receipt.
