Giving through a donor advised fund (DAF) enables you to support PBS while making the most of tax benefits. Simply inform your DAF advisor that you would like to recommend a grant to PBS in the amount of your choosing.

Important Information to consider when donating through your DAF:

Per IRS and DAF guidelines, DAFs cannot be used to make payments that satisfy a legally binding pledge. The two important elements to remember are 'consideration' and 'detriment'. A pledge may be considered legally binding if there is consideration, or an understanding that the donor will receive something in exchange for their gift. For this reason, every PBS pledge form includes the language "No goods or services were received in exchange for this contribution." A pledge may also be considered legally binding if there is language that implies that a project or plan will move forward, and if a donor were to revoke their gift it would be to the serious detriment of the project and organization. Neither of these cases pertain to standard pledge forms at PBS and thus do not preclude making gifts through a DAF. If you have further questions or concerns about supporting PBS with a DAF gift, please reach out to the Advancement Office at development@phillipsbrooks.org.
