• 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

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!
