DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Donor Advised Funds (DAF) allow individuals to establish a fund for their charitable giving each year and into the future.
The Resource Center receives gifts from many of our supporters through their DAFs established at local community foundations, Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, and other sponsoring organizations.
(See our local designated funds through the Orcas Island Community Foundation in the section below.)
