A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family, or individual. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

If you have a donor-advised fund, DAF direct enables you to recommend grants to the American Youth Foundation directly from your DAF, as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating.

If your fund is not listed, or if you need further information, please contact the AYF Advancement Office at advancement@ayf.com or 314-719-4343. The American Youth Foundation’s federal tax identification number is 43-0652614.

Gifts in honor or memory of someone special serve as a tribute to a loved one and/or someone who has impacted your life. The American Youth Foundation will send an acknowledgment card as directed by the donor. Please provide the full name and address of the person(s) you wish for us to inform of your donation and any special message preferred.

While most people think about monetary donations to help support the American Youth Foundation, donations of goods and services can be extremely valuable to further the AYF mission as well.

Individuals, corporations and community organizations can help the AYF through donations of camping equipment, office furniture, supplies for our programs, and silent auction items for the special events, just to name a few.

If you have any questions on how you can support the AYF through in kind gifts, please contact the AYF Advancement Office at 314-719-4343 or email advancement@ayf.com.
