Donor Advised Fund
Donor Advised Funds are the fastest-growing giving method and tax-efficient way to manage charitable donations.
Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. You can direct a gift to the Chicago Public Library Foundation directly from your donor advised fund.
If you are a client of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon, you can easily make a designation through the DAF Direct window on this page.
For more information, you can reach out to Audrey Peiper at (312) 374-5246 or apeiper@cplfoundation.org
