Donor Advised Funds
About DAFs
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts dedicated solely to philanthropic contributions, like charitable savings accounts. DAFs earn tax-free interest, growing your account’s funds until they are distributed to organizations close to your heart.
Your DAF sponsor helps oversee your funds, making this an easy, seamless way to give, while giving you complete control over where your funds are disbursed. Contributions from DAFs are 100% tax-deductible immediately, regardless of the timeline you choose to distribute your gifts to organizations. Your DAF sponsor handles the administrative work of receipts and record-keeping.
DAFs are not just for cash; you can also contribute to your DAF with securities, real estate, and other non-cash assets. You can make one-time or recurring donations through DAFs. Your gifts through a DAF can remain anonymous if you choose.
How to give through your DAF
After establishing a DAF, the donor may recommend grants to qualified public charities. They may also advise the sponsoring organization on the investment strategy for the charitable assets.
As an IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) charity organization, Circle of Hope is grateful for the opportunity to receive grants awarded by donor advised funds.
If you have specific questions about giving through a DAF, please contact caitlin@circleofhopeonline.org.

Gifts of Securities
A gift of securities to Circle of Hope is a great way to support individuals facing homelessness, and it can also give you the added benefit of avoiding capital gains taxes while claiming a deduction (subject to IRS deduction limits).
If you have appreciated stocks or are looking to refocus your investments, making a charitable stock contribution can be a great way to rebalance your portfolio and save on your taxes. Donating stock that has appreciated for over a year directly to an organization can contribute up to 20% more than selling the stock and gifting the cash as a donation.
Transferring stock electronically is the easiest and quickest way to process your gift. Please provide your broker with the following information:
Brokerage Firm: Fidelity
DTC Number: 0226
Account Name: COH Fidelity Account
Account Number: Z40494179
Please note that your name does not typically accompany the transfer of shares. So that we can properly acknowledge your donation, please contact Caitlin Sawicki to let us know the type of securities and number of shares you plan to give.
““With the donations your organization provides, I am able to provide my daughter with warm and cute clothes. As a parent, you can’t help feeling guilty when you are unable to provide your child with the basic necessities in life - food, shelter, and clothing. Kassie and I can’t thank you enough for all the clothing you have provided.”
-Former Project Hope Shelter Resident”
