Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) offer a flexible and impactful way to manage your charitable contributions. By contributing to a DAF, you can make a donation, receive an immediate tax benefit, and recommend grants to non-profit organizations like AICF over time. It’s important to note that, according to the Internal Revenue Code, DAF gifts cannot result in personal benefits, such as goods or services.
Through a DAF, you can support AICF’s general operations or direct your contributions toward specific programs such as the Creative Excellence Grants, Study Abroad Scholarships, our Instrument Bank, or the Periphery Program. You also have the option to designate a portion of your DAF as a legacy gift to AICF, ensuring that your support continues for future generations.
If you are managing a DAF through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, disbursements can be conveniently initiated using the DAF Direct widget on this page. Donors using other DAF providers can contact them directly and reference AICF’s EIN: 13-1664048. For any questions, please contact us at 212-557-1600 or [email protected].
