Support Soldier On with a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support your favorite charitable causes. Think of it as a charitable investment account—created solely to support nonprofits like Soldier On.
When you contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to your DAF, you:
Receive an immediate tax deduction
Allow your funds to grow tax-free
Recommend grants to charities of your choice overtime
DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S. because they combine flexibility, tax benefits, and ease of giving.
How to Give Through Your DAF
DAF Direct enables you to contribute to Soldier On directly from your donor-advised fund.
Visit our Donate Page and under Payment Options, select Donor-Advised Fund.
If your DAF sponsoring organization does not participate in DAF Direct or DAF Pay, please have them mail your contribution to: Soldier On, Inc. 290 Merrill Road Pittsfield, MA 01201.
Gifts of Stock Donation to Soldier On
Donating appreciated securities, such as stocks, can be an excellent way for many individuals to contribute to Soldier On, especially when these securities have grown in value. When securities are sold, the appreciated amount is typically subject to tax, meaning the seller can only retain a portion of the profit. By donating appreciated securities directly to Soldier On, donors can avoid paying capital gains taxes and, at the same time, receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities, even the portion that has appreciated.
If donating appreciated securities makes sense for you, key steps and information can be accessed below to ensure a smooth donation process.
