A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account for individuals, families, or businesses to support their chosen nonprofits. Grants are distributed through this fund to your recommended nonprofit organizations.
To request a grant distribution from your DAF to Catholic Charities, you will need the following information:
Catholic Charities of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse
d/b/a Catholic Charities of Onondaga County
EIN: 15-0532085
1654 W. Onondaga St.
Syracuse, NY 13204
Please provide your name and/or fund name and address so we can send you an acknowledgment of your gift.
If you’d like to learn more about DAFs or to establish one of your own, our friends at the Central New York Community Foundation can help.
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can be a great way to reduce required minimum distributions (RMD) from your IRA, optimizing the tax benefits of giving.
QCDs allow individuals age 70½ and older to make donations directly from an IRA to Catholic Charities. This could satisfy all or part of your RMD.
To make a QCD from your IRA:
- Contact your IRA administrator and instruct them to initiate the transfer to Catholic Charities*
- Request that your IRA administrator include your full name and mailing address on the gift
- Supply your administrator with the following information:
Catholic Charities of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse
d/b/a Catholic Charities of Onondaga County
EIN: 15-0532085
1654 W. Onondaga St.
Syracuse, NY 13204
If your financial institution cannot include your full name and address with the check, please contact us so that we can identify and acknowledge your gift when it arrives.
*If you would like us to send you a sample QCD request letter, please contact us at giving@ccoc.us or 315-424-1800.
One of the most powerful ways to support Catholic Charities is by making a gift through your will. These gifts cost nothing today, but leave a lasting legacy of your love, compassion, and the hope you inspire.
