Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-advised funds (DAF) are a tax-efficient way to manage charitable donations.
Donor-advised funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
UNICEF USA partners with some of the largest DAF sponsor organizations and their philanthropic services teams in the United States.
Current clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable and others can make a designation using the DAFpay button on this page.
UNICEF USA's tax I.D. number is 13-1760110.
Ask your financial advisor whether a donor-advised fund could be right for you.
Gifts received without donor contact information will be handled consistent with our gift acceptance policy, including our policy on gift restriction requests.
