Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity. You can give directly to Common Hope by completing the fields to the right. See below for instructions.

When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund, 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 Common Hope. If you don’t have a donor-advised fund yet and are interested in learning more, contact your financial planner.
