Give from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

Giving through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to invest in the future of girls in our community. With just a few clicks, you can recommend a grant that helps us continue our mission of inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.

What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A DAF is your personal charitable savings account. You contribute money or assets now and then recommend grants to causes you care about, including Girls Inc. of Chattanooga, whenever you’re ready. DAFs give you flexibility and control over your charitable giving, helping you make a difference on your own schedule.

 How Giving Through a DAF Benefits You 

  • Makes giving simple: Keep all your charitable donations organized in one easy-to-manage account. 
  • Save on taxes: You are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction when you put money into your DAF. 
  • Give when it works for you: Choose the timing and causes for your gifts on your schedule. 
  • Creates a lasting impact: Support programming for girls today and leave a legacy by naming Girls Inc. of Chattanooga as a beneficiary of your fund. 

If you’d like to support Girls Inc. of Chattanooga through your DAF, here’s how: 

  1. 1. Direct a Grant to Girls Inc. of Chattanooga
    Use your DAF provider’s platform to recommend a grant to Girls Inc. of Chattanooga. You’ll need our full legal name and tax ID: 
  • Legal Name: Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga 
  • Tax ID: 62-0647145 
  1. 2. Note Any Project or Program Preferences
    If you’d like to designate your gift to a specific program or project, please include this information in your grant recommendation. Otherwise, your support will be used where it’s most needed.

    Need help with your DAF gift? Contact our development team at [email protected] or 423-624-4757, and we’ll gladly guide you through the process. 

Create a Lasting Legacy with Your DAF

You can build a lasting legacy by naming Girls Inc. of Chattanooga the beneficiary of your entire fund or a portion of it. This ensures your support continues for years to come. Until DAF assets are granted, they are not helping the causes you care most about. By giving from your DAF today, you can have an immediate impact on girls in our community.  

Thank you for considering this impactful way to give! Your generosity fuels our mission to empower girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
