DAF Giving

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows individuals, families, and organizations to make tax-deductible contributions, invest those funds for potential growth, and recommend grants to qualified nonprofits over time, making it a simple and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about using funds already set aside for giving. By recommending a grant to Chicago Children’s Charities, you help fund a network of local organizations providing critical support in healthcare, education, literacy, the arts, and youth development across Chicago, allowing us to expand our reach and make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families.

While we offer multiple ways to contribute through the form below, we encourage donors to use the “Donate Online” page linked above for non-DAF donations, as donations made through our PayPal Giving Fund are processed with $0 platform fees ensuring that 100% of your contribution goes directly toward supporting our mission and beneficiaries. For assistance making the DAF donation through your qualified custodian please contact your financial advisor or custodian directely. Should you require any information from our organization please reach out to treasurer@chicagochildrenscharities.org
