Giving from your donor-advised fund
Your DAF can transform communities in Puerto Rico
If you hold a donor-advised fund (DAF) at Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard or another institution, you can recommend a grant to FCPR in a few minutes, right from this page.
An account set aside for giving
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that an individual, family or business opens at a sponsoring organization, such as the charitable arm of an investment firm, a bank or a community foundation. The donor contributes assets, receives an immediate tax deduction and, over time, recommends grants to the nonprofits they want to support.
You can open your own philanthropic fund at FCPR
Individuals, families and companies can create a philanthropic fund with Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico. Our team works with you to design a fund that reflects your values and turns your giving into a long-term commitment to Puerto Rico.
