Only if you’d like to be. Many sponsors transmit your name and address with the grant; some don’t. If you’d like us to know the gift came from you, add your name in the notes or email us at [email protected]

Most sponsors let you schedule grants quarterly or annually. If you’re building MSH into your giving plan, recurring support helps us plan too.

Deductions are taken when you fund your DAF. Grants aren’t separately deductible — and no goods or services may be received in exchange for it.

A qualified charitable distribution from your IRA can’t go to a DAF, but it can come directly to MSH and count toward your required minimum distribution. Contact us at [email protected]

Appreciated securities, real estate, charitable remainder and lead trusts, life insurance, and bequests all have a home here. If you are weighing a DAF grant against another vehicle, we’re glad to talk it through with you — no pressure, and we’re happy to work alongside your recommendation rather than around it.

If you’ve inherited advisory privileges on a fund and are deciding where its remaining balance should go, MSH may already appear in the fund’s giving history. We can tell you what the original donor supported and what it accomplished. That history is often the best guide to what comes next.
