The advantages of giving through your DAF

• Simplicity: Your sponsoring organization handles all record-keeping, disbursements (including an option for automatic distributions), and tax receipts and provides you with a single document at tax time.
• Timing: You can request that a donation be made at any time or make automatic recurring gifts on a schedule of your choice.
• Flexible funding options: Fund your DAF with the assets of your choice, including cash, stock, securities, and even real estate.

Why recommend a grant from your DAF to Friends-Boston

Your support helps make generational change happen. Here are a few examples of how Friends-Boston is changing the lives of Boston's most vulnerable children and youth:

• 98% of Achievers graduate to the next grade, while 100% avoid incarceration, and 98% avoid early parenting
• 91% of Achievers report consistent school attendance, compared to 72% for all Boston Public School (BPS) students—despite our Achievers facing significantly more barriers and frequently attending schools that rank amongst the lowest in the city
• 80% plus of our alumni are persisting in pursuing a college degree and/or employed, which we know is the result of our ability to build years of trust and provide them with a network of support in every aspect of their lives
