Amplify Your Impact Through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund is the fastest-growing giving method and a simple, tax-efficient and flexible way to support the causes you care about. A DAF is a charitable giving account established at a public foundation, known as a DAF sponsor. When you make a charitable contribution of cash, stocks, securities or other assets to the DAF, you receive an immediate tax receipt from your DAF sponsor. From there, you can recommend grants to charities like Rainbow Railroad. Many donors use DAFs to give strategically, manage tax planning and simplify their philanthropic giving.
Steps:
- Access your Donor-Advised Fund through your DAF sponsor’s online portal or contact them directly for assistance.
- Search for Rainbow Railroad in your DAF portal and recommend a grant.
- Your DAF sponsor may need the following information to process your grant:
Legal Name: Rainbow Railroad
Charitable Registration Number & Address:
- Canada: No. 827142530RR0001; 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 236, Toronto, ON M5V 3A8
