During your lifetime, you can recommend a grant to First Book from your donor-advised fund that will create a living legacy that opens doors to learning and opportunity for children who need it most. You may choose to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact.

Create Your Legacy of Philanthropy
6 ways you can make an impact with your donor-advised fund
Memorialize, honor, or commemorate a loved one or an event.
Avoid capital gains by first transferring appreciated stock to your DAF and then gifting it in minutes.
Teach your loved ones about charity and why you believe in giving back.
Build a sense of community (and make a bigger impact) by forming “giving circles” with other donor-advised fund owners including friends and family members.
Bundle your charitable gifts (doing so could result in an opportunity to itemize your deductions in the same year).
Leave all or a portion of your account to charity simply by changing your beneficiary designation.
We hope you will consider naming First Book as a beneficiary of your account. You may even designate First Book to receive a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children or grandchildren to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
