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 The Public through your DAF sponsor today using the DAFpay tool below to help us create art that is of, by and for all people.
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. Our legal name is the “New York Shakespeare Festival”; we are d/b/a The Public Theater and our tax identification number (EIN) is 13-1844852.
Please note, according to IRS guidelines and DAF sponsors, donations from DAFs cannot be used to pay—neither partially or wholly—for fundraising event products or memberships if they include goods or benefits that aren’t fully tax-deductible. However, if you decline all goods and benefits, you can use a DAF donation for payment.
