A Smarter Way to Give - Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

Have you heard about Donor-Advised Funds? You can now make your giving go further by setting up a monthly gift through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).  

It’s a simple, flexible, and tax-smart way to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore all year long — lasting impact for kids who need us most. 

“Setting up my DAF gift was an easy decision — I wanted my support for BGCMB to be consistent and make a real difference for our youth year-round. With just a few clicks, I scheduled a recurring, automatic gift...it’s a simple way to create lasting impact.” —Heather McLeod, BGCMB Board Member  

Initiating recurring gifts through your DAF is now easier than ever: 

Step 1: Log into Your DAF Account 

Access your Donor-Advised Fund through your provider’s website (e.g., Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, etc.). 

Step 2: Select “Make a Grant” or “Recommend a Grant” 

Find the option to recommend a grant. Each provider may label this differently, but the process is similar across platforms. 

Step 3: Search for Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore 

Use our legal name and EIN: 

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore 

EIN: 26-4371125 

Step 4: Choose Your Gift Frequency 

If your provider allows recurring grants, select monthly to make an ongoing difference. If recurring options are unavailable, consider setting a reminder to renew your gift regularly. 

Step 5: Submit and Confirm 

Review your details, submit your recommendation, and confirm with your provider that the grant has been approved. 

Thank you for being a true champion for great futures!
