Gifts from Donor Advised Funds 

What is a donor advised fund? A donor advised fund is a tax-advantaged charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. Anyone can open a DAF; you don’t have to be extremely wealthy or a financial expert.

Easy and tax-savvy, it makes sense that donor-advised funds are the fastest growing giving vehicle. Contact your financial advisor or institution to determine if a donor advised fund is right for you.

What if I already have a donor advised fund? We have great news. Green America is pleased to announce we’ve partnered with DAF Pay, which allows you to make secure donations from your donor advised fund directly on our website in 3 easy clicks! This makes giving from your DAF much easier than ever before!

Making your DAF contribution online is the fastest and easiest way for you to give and helps avoid lost, mislabeled, or anonymous checks and saves our organization time and money tracking your gift. DAF Pay also allows you to set up recurring donations from your donor advised fund just like you would with a credit card or a bank account.

If your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) does not participate in DAF Pay or you would prefer to work directly with your sponsor organization, contact your DAF administrator or sponsor organization to initiate a gift and provide them with this information: 

Green America 

1612 K Street, NW, Suite 1000 

Washington, DC 20006 

Tax ID number: 52-1660746 

Please also ask your administrator to include your name on the check or with the accompanying documentation! (Sometimes we receive DAF checks without the donor name and are unable to acknowledge the gift.) 

You may also wish to name Green America as an organizational beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund (Tax ID number: 52-1660746).
