Leave a legacy. DAFs let families involve children in philanthropy, passing on values of creativity, collaboration, and generosity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Many DAF providers let you set up monthly, quarterly, or yearly giving—so your support for AMP can happen automatically.
No need. Your tax deduction happened when you first contributed to your DAF. But don’t worry—we’ll still send you an acknowledgment to share how your gift is making a difference here.
That’s completely up to you. When you make a grant recommendation, you can choose whether to share your name and contact information with us. You can also decide to remain anonymous to the public and other donors, even if you do share your information with AMP internally.
IRS rules say DAF grants can’t come with personal benefits—so things like event tickets, auctions, or memberships with perks aren’t eligible. But your gift can powerfully support our programs and community events.
Absolutely! Many donors love making DAF giving a family tradition, choosing together where to give and what impact to make.
DAFs can be especially handy if you’ve had a financial event (like selling a business or receiving a bonus) and want the tax deduction right away. They also let you consolidate your giving in one place and sometimes even grow your giving power through investment.
Sometimes, yes. Some companies will match DAF contributions if you provide them with AMP’s acknowledgment letter. It’s worth checking with your HR team.
