How it Works: An Example of A Legacy of Giving An example of the impact you can make: Patti wanted to ensure her giving made the most significant impact possible. She established a $25,000 DAF with her local community foundation, receiving an immediate federal income tax charitable deduction. After researching community needs, Patti recommended a grant for DREAM, an organization she has supported for years. The foundation issued the check from the Collins Family Fund, which Patti named in honor of her late husband. She also named DREAM as the ultimate beneficiary of the fund's remaining balance, ensuring her legacy of giving continues for generations. Ways to Fund Your DAF You can contribute various assets to your fund to prepare for your grant-making, including: Cash Appreciated Securities Retirement Plan Assets Tangible Personal Property Real Estate

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support DREAM. If you have owned these assets for more than one year, you may be eligible to claim a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities and eliminate capital gains taxes that would otherwise be due if the assets were sold. How to Initiate a Transfer To ensure your gift is accurately tracked and acknowledged, please follow these three steps: Notify DREAM: Complete our Stock Gift Form below so we can identify your contribution as soon as it arrives. Contact Your Broker: Use our Remittance Instructions to provide your broker with the necessary DTC and account details.
