Giving Through Donor Advised Funds

Donations from people like you enable New Hope Community to offer meaningful experiences not funded by Medicaid. Hope Farm, Lina’s Barn at McCoy Meadows, our greenhouses, our Sensory Garden, and our Holistic Wellness Program all exist and thrive thanks to the generous donations of donors like you.

For some people, giving through a donor-advised fund holds certain tax advantages or facilitates specific philanthropic objectives.

A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity – including the NHC Foundation.

You should speak to your financial planner or tax advisor to determine if creating a donor-advised fund is right for you. If you already have a donor-advised fund you can use several ways (online, phone, mobile app) to access your account. Simply provide our details (NHC Foundation, PO Box 289, 5 New Hope Community Drive, Loch Sheldrake, NY 12759, Tax-ID: 14-1730634) and submit your grant recommendation.

Do You Have a Donor-Advised Fund?

If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), supporting New Hope Community is easier than ever.

Your charitable dollars can help create meaningful experiences, opportunities, and resources that go beyond traditional funding. From Hope Farm and Lina’s Barn at McCoy Meadows to our Sensory Garden, wellness programs, and countless opportunities for personal growth, these experiences are made possible through the generosity of people like you.

And now, with our new DAFpay giving option, you can recommend a gift to the NHC Foundation directly through our online donation form.

Two Easy Ways to Give Through Your DAF

Option 1: Give Online with DAFpay

We’ve made giving through your donor-advised fund even simpler.

You can now use DAFpay to recommend a gift directly from our secure donation form, without having to navigate to your DAF provider’s website separately.

It’s easy:

  1. Visit our online donation page.
  2. Continue through the donation form.
  3. Select DAFpay as your payment method.
  4. Connect securely to your participating DAF provider.
  5. Choose your gift amount and submit your grant recommendation.

Your DAF provider will review and process your recommendation, directing your gift to the NHC Foundation.

 

Option 2: Give Through Your DAF Provider

Prefer to use your existing donor-advised fund account? You can still recommend a grant to the NHC Foundation directly through your fund provider’s website, mobile app, or by contacting your fund administrator.

Simply use the following information when submitting your grant recommendation:

Organization: NHC Foundation

Mailing Address: PO Box 289, 5 New Hope Community Drive, Loch Sheldrake, NY 12759

Tax ID (EIN): 14-1730634

Your provider will handle the grant distribution according to its procedures.

 

New to Donor-Advised Funds?
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account that allows you to set aside money or other assets for the causes you care about.

When you contribute to a DAF, you may be eligible for an immediate charitable tax deduction. Those funds can then be invested for potential tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to eligible charitable organizations, including the NHC Foundation, over time.

DAFs offer flexibility in how and when you support the organizations that matter to you. Because the charitable deduction generally occurs when you contribute to the fund, recommending a grant from your existing DAF does not create an additional tax deduction.

We encourage you to speak with your financial planner or tax advisor to determine whether a donor-advised fund aligns with your philanthropic and financial goals.


Your Giving. More Possibilities.
Whether you give through DAFpay or directly through your fund provider, your generosity helps New Hope Community continue creating opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to pursue their interests, discover new experiences, build relationships, and live lives of their choosing.
