A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a named charitable giving account you can set up under a public charity, most often a sponsoring financial or community institution. DAFs allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

Giving through your DAF is easy. Simply contact your sponsoring financial or community institution to recommend a grant to the Prison Entrepreneurship Program. Clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon can easily make a designation through the widget to the right.

If you have a National Christian Foundation giving fund, you can also arrange a transfer directly through the Prison Entrepreneurship Program Charity Page on their website (www.houston.nationalchristian.com).
