When you give a gift of stock, a donor advised fund, or by a variety of other options, you are helping to transform lives, one wish at a time. Learn more about you can impact the future of Make-A-Wish below. 

A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from your fund over time. You can contribute to the fund as frequently as you like, and then recommend grants to your charities, like Make-A-Wish Connecticut, whenever it is convenient for you.

Give through your Donor Advised Fund by directing your gift to: Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Connecticut. 56 Commerce Drive, Trumbull, CT 06611 Tax ID: 22-2710919

You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Make-A-Wish Connecticut the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successors so they can continue recommending grants to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.

Your contribution of stock to Make-A-Wish Connecticut is deeply appreciated as it helps grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses in our region. 

A gift of appreciated stock to Make-A-Wish Connecticut can benefit you in multiple ways: 

• You receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities. 
• At the same time, you may avoid capital gains on appreciated stock. This helps stretch your gift even further.
