Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

Donor Advised Funds are the fastest-growing giving method and a tax-efficient way to make charitable donations.  DAFs are essentially charitable investment accounts created to support charitable organizations of your choice.

Contributions of cash, securities or other assets to a DAF at a public charity are generally eligible for an immediate tax deduction.  DAF funds may also be invested for tax-free growth.  Donors may recommend grants to IRS-qualified public charities such as the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), EIN 52-1256563.

Grants to CEE through DAFs may be designated for the Center’s greatest need, or aligned with a particular CEE program or fundraising initiative.

Clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon can designate a gift to CEE by using the DAF window on this page.
