Giving via DAF​

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program managed by a nonprofit institution—known as a sponsoring organization—and created for the purpose of managing charitable gifts on behalf of donors.

What Are the Advantages of a Donor Advised Fund?
  • Your gifts to your donor advised fund entitle you to an immediate income tax deduction at the time of contribution.
  • You avoid capital gains tax on appreciated assets you place in your donor advised fund.
  • Your fund’s investment gains accumulate tax free.
  • Funds are distributed to Stanbridge Academy in your name and immediately put to use to provide support to our students through our Annual Fund Campaign.

How Does It Work?
  • You contribute assets such as cash, stocks or bonds to a donor advised fund established in your name and managed by a sponsoring organization.
  • The sponsoring organization reinvests your gift as you direct.
  • The sponsoring organization makes distributions from your fund to charities you recommend, such as Stanbridge Academy.

How do I make a donation through my DAF?
Simply contact your sponsoring organization directly and recommend a donation in support of Stanbridge Academy. Provide your sponsoring organization with the following information:
  • The amount of your donation
  • Stanbridge's Federal Taxpayer ID Number:
    23-7379082
  • Our mailing address:
    ​Stanbridge Academy
    515 E. Poplar Ave.
    ​San Mateo, CA 94401

We are happy to provide you with more information about donor advised funds or answer your questions. Please contact our Business Office at 650.375.5860, ext. 616.

Donate goods or services

Giving financially isn't the only way you can support Stanbridge. As a small school for students with learning differences, donating goods and/or services is an easy way to make an immediate impact. Whether it is giving a pro bono talk to our parent community on a topic in your area of expertise, or donating goods for our classrooms or facilities that will enhance the student learning experience, we welcome the contributions you can make. Examples of previous goods and service donations include legal experts participating in our "Expert Share" speaker series; a donation of a used car for our Design Lab students to work with; catering and decór donations for our high school dances and prom; and more. In many cases, these types of donations are tax-deductible in part or in full. Please contact our Business Office at 650.375.5860, ext. 616, if you would like to make a contribution along these lines.
