Frequently Asked Question
-

-
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.
