Frequently Asked Questions
Please Note: Helen Keller Intl doesn’t provide tax, legal, or financial advice. We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified professional advisor to discuss your specific circumstances.
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account established at a third party 501(c)(3) organization. They are gaining popularity as a way to donate because of their tax benefits and ease. You contribute to the fund, receive an immediate tax deduction from the fund, then recommend grants to qualified nonprofits, like Helen Keller Intl, over time.
Are there restrictions on donor-advised fund grants?
Yes. IRS guidelines prohibit donors from receiving benefits in exchange for donor-advised fund grants. This includes event-related sponsorships, tables, or tickets, fulfilling a pledge, or other perquisites.
If a donor wishes to purchase a ticket or table to a charitable event and receive the corresponding benefits, a separate non donor-advised gift may be made for a ticket purchase, depending on your circumstances.
How do I recommend a grant to Helen Keller Intl?
Contact your fund administrator directly or use their online platform to recommend a grant to Helen Keller (Tax ID: 13-5562162).
Can I make recurring grants?
Yes! Many fund administrators allow you to set up automatic recurring grants to provide ongoing support for our programs.
Can I make an anonymous gift through my donor-advised fund?
Yes! We trust that the donor-advised fund, donor advisory, or other parties have vetted donors per their own, internal rules and principles.
