development@curemelanoma.orgA donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account managed by a sponsoring organization. After contributing to your account, you can recommend grants to eligible charities over time. Your sponsor retains legal control of the funds and approves grants.
Many sponsors offer recurring grant recommendations. Ask your provider about its options and whether MRA can be included in your regular giving plan. Each grant remains subject to sponsor approval.
Yes. Include the person’s name in your recommendation and let our development team know. If you would like us to notify someone of your tribute, contact us with their details. Your grant amount will not be included in that notification.
You generally receive any eligible deduction when you contribute to your DAF. Recommending a grant from that account to MRA does not create a second charitable deduction. We are happy to acknowledge your support.
DAF grants cannot be used to purchase event tickets, auction items or other prohibited personal benefits. Paying only the non-deductible portion personally does not make the rest eligible for a DAF grant. Please contact our development team and your sponsor before arranging event-related support.
Yes. Choose the anonymity option offered by your sponsor. Sharing contact details with MRA is optional.
Some sponsors allow you to designate charities to receive remaining account assets. Ask your provider about its charitable beneficiary options and use MRA’s legal name and EIN above. Explore planned giving.
