Donor Advised Fund | PAWS Chicago

Give with a Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and efficient way to support PAWS Chicago's mission.

When you contribute through a DAF, you maximize your philanthropic impact while enjoying favorable tax benefits.

How a Donor-Advised Fund Works:

  1. Establish Your Fund: Open a DAF account through a sponsoring organization, such as a financial institution or community foundation.
  2. Make a Contribution: Contribute to your DAF with cash, stock, or other assets, often receiving an immediate tax deduction.
  3. Recommend a Grant to PAWS Chicago: From your fund, recommend a grant to PAWS Chicago. You can make a one-time contribution or set up recurring grants. You can use the DAF Direct form below to directly connect to your account. 
    • Select the sponsoring organization from the “Donate now from” field.
    • Enter the amount you would like to recommend.
    • Click on the “NEXT” button to proceed to the sponsoring organization’s website to complete your transaction. Please note, you will be directed to an external website to complete your transaction.

Our team is here to help make giving through your DAF as easy and meaningful as possible. Contact us at info@pawschicago.org for assistance with your contribution. Together, we can build a No Kill Chicago.
