A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account that you can set up through Fidelity Charitable, DAFGiving360, Vanguard Charitable, or many other DAF providers and community foundations. Donors receive an immediate tax deduction, and you can direct philanthropic gifts to various charities over time while the account earns interest.

If you would like to direct a gift to LSNV from your donor-advised fund, you have two options:

– First, you can use our online donation form. When you get to the payment options, select DAFPay and choose your DAF provider. Login to your account and authorize the distribution.

– If your DAF provider does not use DAFPay, simply provide LSNV’s Tax ID Number (54-1137931) to your fund representative. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and our address is 10700 Page Avenue, Suite 100, Fairfax, VA 22030.

Please make sure your fund representative includes your name and address on the distribution so we can send an acknowledgement to you. Alternatively, please notify us of your DAF gift by emailing Elizabeth (Liz) Merck, director of development, at [email protected].
