Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are a convenient way to simplify your charitable giving to California State Parks Foundation.
DAFs are the fastest-growing giving method and a tax-efficient way to manage your charitable donations. They allow donors to make a contribution and receive an immediate tax deduction.
Your thoughtful gift allows California State Parks Foundation to continue to protect and preserve the California state park system, for the benefit of all.
How to use the DAF Direct Widget
The DAF Direct Widget makes it easy for you to give through your Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360 by Schwab Charitable or BNY Mellon Charitable account.
After you select the institution that manages your donor-advised fund, simply enter the dollar amount you want to donate to California State Parks Foundation and click “next.” You will then be directed to an external website to complete your gift.
We will be notified of your generous donation after the DAF institution sends us your contribution.
If you don’t already have a DAF, contact your financial advisor to learn how to set up a donor-advised fund.
Using a Different Donor-Advised Fund Provider?
The DAF Direct Widget is currently compatible with Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360 by Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon Charitable account. However, there are many other donor-advised fund sponsors not listed in the dropdown menu. If your provider is not included, you may still recommend a grant to California State Parks Foundation by initiating the request directly through your DAF sponsor's platform. Please ensure that you reference our full legal name and Employer Identification Number (EIN): California State Parks Foundation, EIN 94-1715816."
