Donor Advised Funds
Make an impact today!
Your support through Donor Advised Funds helps us continue to provide vital services, advocate for legislative changes, and advance critical research for Prader-Willi syndrome. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by PWS.
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. You can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to PWSA | USA and your other favorite charitable organizations whenever you’d like. This allows donors to give when they can, then grant when it’s needed.
Contact your financial advisor to discuss the creation of a Donor Advised Fund to help you realize your philanthropic goals.
