Ways of Giving

List of 5 items.

> Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple and tax-efficient way to give to Friends Community School. It allows donors to contribute to a charitable investment account, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants over time to support causes they care about.

Use our EIN: 52-2102196 to direct your gift and make an immediate impact.
> Sustainable Giving

Recurring gifts allow donors to plan their giving over time. You may make a recurring gift to be paid in installments within a single year or over several years. The online giving form makes recurring giving simple by using a credit or debit card or other forms of payment.
> IRA, Stock or Mutual Fund Gifts

Consider making a gift through a direct transfer of a portion of your minimum IRA distribution or appreciated securities—this may provide significant tax benefits.

Use our Double the Donation tool to see if your employer participates, but be sure to check with your HR department as well, as not all companies may be listed in the system. Your generosity, combined with your employer’s support, can make an even greater difference for Friends Community School!
