DAF Giving & The Public

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account for individuals, families, or businesses to help support their favorite nonprofits. Donations are made to the fund, and then grants are distributed to recommended nonprofit organizations.

Consider recommending a grant to make a general, fully tax-deductible donation to The Public, to Name a Seat at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park or to join/renew a membership at the following levels: Illyria Supporter, Verona Supporter, Troy Supporter Plus, Windsor Supporter Plus, Arden Supporter Plus, or Young Advocate Partner. 

Please note, according to IRS guidelines and DAF sponsors' rules, donations from DAFs CANNOT be used to pay—neither partially or wholly—for fundraising events/tickets/tables, or memberships if they include goods or benefits that aren’t fully tax-deductible.

All Partner and Producer's Circle membership levels, Young Partner memberships at the Young Leader level and above and the Messina Supporter Plus membership level, have good and benefits and are not fully tax-deductible. However, if you decline all goods and benefits, you can use a DAF donation for payment.

Simply search for and select your DAF sponsor and you will be able to complete the grant recommendation process directly through the DAFpay tool without needing to leave our website.
