Donor advised funds (DAFs) offer a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way for you to support C.A.S.E. DAFs are like a charitable investment account to support organizations you care about. You transfer cash or other assets to a tax-exempt sponsoring organization such as a community foundation or Fidelity Charitable. You can then easily recommend how much and how often money is granted to C.A.S.E. and manage all of your charitable giving.
If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon Charitable Gift Fund, you can request a grant to C.A.S.E. now using DAF Direct.
Or, have your DAF sponsoring organization direct your grant to Center for Adoption Support and Education, Inc. (EIN 52-2100734) addressed to:
C.A.S.E. Attn: Gift Processing
3919 National Drive, Suite 200
Burtonsville, MD 20866-1184
Ask your DAF representative to include your name and address on the distribution. If you don’t have a DAF, contact your financial advisor to learn how to set up your charitable giving account.
Your gift of appreciated securities—publicly traded stocks, bonds, and mutual funds—can make a huge difference! It’s a smart and easy way to support adoptive, foster and kinship families, while benefiting from a tax deduction. For the greatest tax savings, the securities transferred must have been held by you for more than 12 months.
