When you recommend a grant to The Baby Fold from your donor-advised fund (DAF), you provide healing-centered care directly to children who need it most through programs like foster care, adoption support, Autism programs, special education, early intervention, and more.
Use the form below to recommend a grant to The Baby Fold from your DAF to transform the lives of local children.
The Baby Fold's tax identification number is 37-0673453.
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is an investment account held at an organization, such as a community foundation, that is used for charitable giving. DAFs provide an immediate tax benefit to you and allow you to recommend grants to your favorite charities.
Donor-advised funds are considered one of the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicles in the United States, providing an easy and tax-advantageous way to support your favorite causes.
A donor makes a gift to a donor-advised fund and receives a tax deduction for the year the gift is made.
DAFs are run by third-party organizations. These sponsoring organizations are typically community foundations or public charities. However, some large investment firms may also sponsor DAFs, such as Vanguard and Charles Schwab.
You can donate multiple types of assets to a DAF, including cash, real estate, investments, or other noncash assets.
When you contribute to a DAF, you donate to the organization sponsoring the donor fund, not directly to a charity. Once a donation is made, you can recommend grants from your DAF to your favorite charity.
Fill out the “Make a Donation” form on this webpage to recommend a grant to The Baby Fold from your DAF. You may select a one-time grant recommendation or set up recurring ones to ensure your ongoing support.
If your DAF organization is not listed, please use the form’s search feature to be directed to your DAF organization’s login page.
