What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle that provides an immediate tax benefit to you, and allows you to recommend grants to your favorite charities.

How do I give through a donor-advised fund?

You can give in three ways: 

1. Recommend a grant from your DAF through your fund administrator
   
   You can recommend a gift by contacting your fund administrator, or by granting online
   
   
2. Set up recurring grants from your DAF
   
   You can set up recurring grants to help sustain Girls on the Run-Chicago. This can be done online or by contacting your fund administrator. You can choose how frequently the automated grants will occur.
   
   
3. Name Girls on the Run-Chicago as the beneficiary of your DAF
   
   You can help continue the mission of Girls on the Run-Chicago after your lifetime by naming Girls on the Run-Chicago as the beneficiary of your DAF. Simply contact your fund administrator to do so. Please email info@gotrchicago.org to let us know, so we can thank you for your generosity.
