> Ways to Give

When can I give to a DAF?

Time your gift on your terms. One of the reasons DAFs are so popular is that they allow the donor to give when it is right for them. Some donors bundle their annual contributions into one gift every few years for tax purposes. Others give when they are rebalancing their stock portfolios or if they’ve had a windfall. You can also fund DAFs in your will, by either funding your own or creating new ones as gifts for your family and friends.

What will I be supporting?

Your fund, your choice. You can suggest grants to organizations in Turkiye, in the US, or internationally—as long as they pass our eligibility. Once you suggest your grants, we vet the nonprofits, and handle the payments and paperwork. While your recommendations can’t be binding (under IRS rules, our board has the final say), we take your suggestions very seriously. When you open a donor-advised fund with TPF, we make sure you make a difference in our community.

What are my investment options?

Choices for donors. Some donors want their funds to grow over the long term, others value short-term liquidity or socially responsible options. Whatever your investment objectives, we have great options.
