Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged investment account for individuals and families to make charitable donations to nonprofits. Donor-advised funds are considered the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States. DAF owners make donations to their funds, which are maintained by a sponsoring organization that provides a tax receipt, and then recommend grant distributions to nonprofit organizations of their choosing.

Please consider a DAF recommendation to The Weitzman to help the Museum provide educational experiences and programs about the America Jewish experience that push back against rising antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred. Your generosity helps people of all backgrounds understand the American Jewish experience and explore our shared responsibility for pursuing equality and justice together.

DAF Sponsoring Organizations

Sponsoring organizations include (but are not limited to):

BNY Mellon, Fidelity Charitable, Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, Jewish Communal Fund, Jewish Community Foundation of Mercer County, National Philanthropic Trust, Schwab Charitable and Vanguard Charitable.

How to make a DAF donation to The Weitzman

To make a grant contribution from your DAF to The Weitzman, you will need to reach out to your sponsoring organization to recommend the Museum. You will need the following information:

• Legal Name: The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History

*Please note, donations from DAFs cannot be used to pay—neither partially or wholly—for fundraising event products or memberships if they include goods or benefits that aren’t fully tax-deductible. However, if you decline goods and benefits, you can use a DAF donation for payment.
