Ways To Give

Donor - Advised Fund

Support The Work You Care About Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable savings account that gives you the flexibility to recommend grants to Roots Ethiopia.

  • You can make a one-time gift OR a recurring monthly gift through your DAF.
  • You can give long-term appreciated assets directly to many Donor Advised Funds, eliminating the capital gains tax.
  • There are a wide range of financial assets that can be accepted by your DAF, including stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, to name a few.

You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Roots Ethiopia the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.

And, all of this is done streamlining your recordkeeping!
