Donor Advised Fund

Receive immediate tax benefits by establishing a Donor Advised Fund, and then recommend grants be made to Make-A-Wish^® now or over time.

A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving vehicle where you can deposit assets for donations to a 501c3 nonprofit. The donor receives immediate tax benefits for making contributions to the DAF. The donor can then recommend how to invest the assets and where to donate them in the short term and long term.

Qualified Charitable Distribution for your IRA

Donors can make an outright gift from their IRA to Make-A-Wish and receive tax benefits. Because the gift goes directly to Make-A-Wish, the dollar amount of the gift may be excluded from your taxable income. Your qualified charitable distributions can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution from your IRA.

Gifts of Stock

Increase your giving power by donating a gift of appreciated stock to Make-A-Wish. A gift of stock can benefit you in two ways: you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities, and at the same time you may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock.
