Donating funds for a major gift via electronic fund transfer is an efficient, safe way to support the GRO Fund.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving fund administered by a third party that allows you to combine favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support the GRO Fund

How It Works

• Establish your DAF by making a tax-deductible donation via a DAF provider or platform, such as Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab Charitable, CharityVest or a community foundation.

• Determine the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).

• Recommend grants to the Georgia Resilience and Opportunity (GRO) Fund whenever you wish to make a gift. We advise entering the GRO Fund’s employer identification number (EIN), 87-1811721, when searching a DAF charity database.

Donating to the GRO Fund is an excellent way to honor your family, friends, and loved ones. Your generous, tax-deductible gift helps chip away at the racial wealth gap and support evidence-based programs that build wealth in communities with historic disinvestment. 

There are many occasions where a donation to the GRO Fund donation makes for the perfect gift to honor your loved one, including memorials and bequests, birthdays, holidays, and milestone celebrations.

Making a planned gift can support the GRO Fund’s efforts far into the future. We recommend consulting with a professional advisor on the impact a potential planned gift - such as a bequest - could have on your estate.

Many companies have programs through which they will match the charitable contributions made by their employees. 

Through employer gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to the GRO Fund at no extra cost to you.

Criteria for gift matching vary by employer. Some companies offer a payroll deduction plan.
