How can I donate from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

How do I go about donating from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to help support the mission & work of 1517, and are there any advantages to doing so?

At 1517 we share the Good News that we are forgiven and free through Christ Jesus alone, and your partnership makes this mission possible. Your support helps us continue this mission.

One effective way to contribute is through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). By donating money or appreciated assets (like stocks) to your DAF, you may be able to:

  • Get an immediate tax deduction when funding your DAF, while avoiding taxes on gains that those assets have accrued over time.
  • Watch your contributions in the DAF grow tax-free until you choose to recommend a grant to organizations like 1517.
  • Create an automated giving plan for your DAF into the future. 

Your gift will fuel our mission to share the Gospel with all people. YOU CAN MAKE A DONATION FROM YOUR DAF HERE or can contact your DAF custodian to initiate a gift to 1517 (see instructions below).

Thank you for partnering with us to spread the message of forgiveness and freedom in Christ Jesus. Your generosity amplifies the impact of our shared mission.
