Maximizing your Impact through Donor-Advised Fund Giving

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is an excellent way to simplify your charitable giving while maximizing the impact of your contributions. By establishing a DAF, you can enjoy immediate tax benefits and retain the flexibility to support JFLA's mission at your own pace. 

Here’s a simple step-by-step process to give to JFLA through a DAF:  

Step 1 - Establish Your DAF: Set up a DAF through your preferred financial institution or community foundation. 

Step 2 - Make a Contribution: Transfer cash, stocks, or other assets to the fund. You'll receive an immediate tax deduction for this contribution. 

Step 3 - Recommend a Grant: Advise the fund administrator to distribute a grant to JFLA. You'll need the following details: 

• Legal Name: Jewish Free Loan Association 
• EIN: 95-1691014 
• Contact: Kelly Halligan 

Step 4 - Support JFLA's Mission: The grant will directly support JFLA's ability to provide zero interest, zero fee loans to individuals and families in the LA area.
