Donor Advised Funds

Thank you for considering a gift from your Donor-Advised Fund to turn the tide for those affected by crimes against children. Gifts from DAFs are one of the most popular and flexible ways to give, allowing you to recommend grants that create immediate and lasting impact.

100% of grants made to Children’s Advocacy Center serving Bastrop, Lee and Fayette Counties through Donor-Advised Funds go directly to serving abused and neglected children.

Clients of Fidelity Charitable can easily make a designation through this DAF Direct link.

Why give from a DAF?

Donating through your DAF offers several meaningful benefits:

  • Maximize your giving — Your contribution has already received a tax deduction when it was placed in the DAF. Now you can recommend grants to us with no additional capital gains taxes or transaction costs.

  • Convenience and flexibility — You can recommend grants of cash, appreciated assets, or other holdings held in your DAF.

  • Streamlined recordkeeping — Your DAF provider handles the administrative work, and you receive simple confirmation of your recommendation.

Make a lasting impact — Help create a community free from abuse and neglect.

Additional Options

  • Recurring Grants — Set up automatic annual or quarterly grants to provide sustained support for our programs.

  • Large or Complex Gifts — Contact us directly if you’d like to discuss a larger gift, a multi-year commitment, or donating non-cash assets held in your DAF.
