Donor Advised Funds

A:

Open Communities Alliance accepts Donor Advised Funds (DAF) contributions, and it’s easy to do! DAF is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. DAF is like a charitable savings account; you transfer cash or other assets to a tax-exempt sponsoring organization such as a public foundation. You can then recommend—but not direct—how much and how often money is granted to Open Communities Alliance or other nonprofits. If you have an account with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, BNY Mellon, or one of the many Community Foundations, for example, contact your provider directly with a request to recommend a grant to Open Communities Alliance.
