Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account that helps you support the causes you care about.

You can contribute money to your DAF, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants to nonprofits—like Point of Pride—whenever you’re ready.

Your fund is managed by a sponsoring organization (often a financial institution or community foundation) that handles the administrative details, so you can focus on your giving goals.

DAFs make it easy to plan and manage your charitable donations over time—like a savings account for giving—and they’ve become one of the fastest-growing ways people support the organizations they love.

When you contribute to a DAF, your donation is irrevocable—meaning it permanently goes toward charitable purposes. The sponsoring organization (often a financial institution or community foundation) takes legal control of the funds and manages them for you.

You’ll receive an immediate tax deduction for your gift, and you can then recommend grants to charities right away or over time. The sponsoring organization takes care of all the details, including reviewing charities and sending out the grants on your behalf.

To recommend a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund, you’ll need to provide the following details to your fund administrator:

• Legal Name: Point of Pride
• EIN: 81-2185477
• Incorporated: 2016
• Mailing Address: PO Box 10991, Eugene, OR 97440

Yes! You can help continue Point of Pride’s mission to support the trans community long into the future by naming us as a beneficiary of your Donor-Advised Fund.

Simply contact your fund administrator and let them know you’d like Point of Pride to receive the remaining balance of your DAF after your lifetime.
