Recommend a Grant from Your Donor Advised Fund

Donor advised funds (DAFs) are a smart way to manage your philanthropy as they allow you to invest funds earmarked for charitable giving and recommend grants from the fund over time. You can create a DAF at any commercial provider (Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, etc.) or a community foundation (The Pittsburgh Foundation) using a variety of assets and receive an immediate tax deduction.

Grants to Literacy Pittsburgh from your DAF are a practical way to annually make a difference for individuals, families, their children, the workforce, and the community – bringing great prosperity for us all.

As part of your estate planning, you can designate Literacy Pittsburgh as beneficiary of all or a percentage of your DAF assets to continue your support for future generations.

Partner Spotlight: WQED

WQED and Literacy Pittsburgh began a collaboration last summer to create learning experiences for families to expand their knowledge about science. The partnership was established to bring WQED’s “PBS Kids Family Engagement” opportunities to the students and families of Literacy Pittsburgh, as part of its mission to broaden the awareness of the free and fun learning opportunities that are available both online and in the community.
