Grants from Donor Advised Funds

One of the easiest, most tax-advantageous ways to give. Use your DAF to support the public radio service you value.

Why Give via a DAF?

Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S. for good reason:

Simplify your records: Make contributions to your DAF and grant to multiple charities over time.
Flexible assets: Easily contribute a wide range of assets (cash, stock, crypto) to your fund.
Immediate benefits: Eligibility for immediate tax deductions when you contribute to your fund.*

*To determine the specific tax benefits for your financial situation, please consult with a tax advisor, certified public accountant, or attorney.
