Donor Advised Funds

Give through your Donor Advised Fund by directing your gift to:

Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois
200 W. Monroe St., Suite 1801
Chicago, IL 60606
Federal Tax ID: 36- 3422138

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 Illinois, whenever it is convenient for you.

FreeWill’s secure DAF giving tool integrates with your DAF custodian automatically, and saves you the extra step of notifying us about your gift. By using this tool, you can:

  • Recommend how you’d like your grant to be allocated
  • Communicate your wishes to Make-A-Wish Illinois
  • Share the details of your DAF grant
  • Make your grant recommendation

Monthly Donations Through a DAF

You can schedule monthly gifts to Make-A-Wish Illinois through your Donor Advised Fund. Your monthly gift replenishes the "wishing well," granting wishes every month to a different wish child. With your monthly donation, you become a member of the Wishing Well – Monthly Giving Society.

You can also make monthly gifts via credit card. Click here to learn more.

Designate Make-A-Wish Illinois As Your DAF Beneficiary

Just as you can include a charity as a beneficiary of your IRA or insurance policy, you can name Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois as the successor beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund.
