Give Through a Donor-advised Fund

  • A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account held by a sponsoring organization — such as The Signatry, the National Christian Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable. Donors contribute cash, stocks, or other appreciated assets to their DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund to nonprofits like ours over time.

     If that's how you give, we'd love to be a recipient. Below is everything your DAF sponsor will need to send a grant our way.

  • Log in to your DAF sponsor's portal and recommend a grant using the information below. Most grants take a few business days to process. We'll receive notification of your gift, and we'll be in touch to thank you personally — though no tax receipt is needed on our end (your DAF sponsor handles that).

  • If you have appreciated stocks, business interests, or real estate, gifting them through your DAF — rather than selling first and giving the proceeds — can significantly increase the impact of your gift while reducing your tax burden. We are partnered with The Signatry to make these kinds of complex-asset gifts simple. We would love to walk you through the options.

     Email contact@thegrandmasterproject.org or call 240-252-0695 to start the conversation.

  • Have a question, need ACH instructions for your DAF sponsor, or want to talk through a planned gift? Reach out — we'd be glad to connect.
