Planned Giving + Bequests
A donor-advised fund (DAF) provides donors with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families, and corporations to make an irrevocable charitable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program and take an immediate tax deduction. Most sponsoring organizations of DAFs accept cash equivalents, securities, and certain other assets. If your donor-advised fund is with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you may recommend a gift to 萌妹社区 via DAF.
If you benefit from a different donor-advised fund and would like to send a gift to 萌妹社区, please make checks payable to 萌妹社区 and mail to:
