If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, it’s time to invest in For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation! A Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, allows you as a donor to receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. To learn more about establishing a DAF, please reach out to Thomas Chaves, Chief Philanthropy Officer at tom@takeabreakfromcancer.org or 215.967.7525.

If you already have a DAF established, please click the button below to make a gift now to FPS using your DAF. Our EIN# is 23-3013896. You can contribute to the fund as frequently as you would like and recommend grants to FPS when it makes sense! Cash, appreciated securities, and other non-cash assets can be donated to a DAF providing more flexibility in how you can philanthropically support FPS. You become a “donor advisor” and retain advisory privileges over the investment allocation for the DAF.

For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation qualifies as a charitable organization eligible to receive a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  The QCD allows you to make a charitable donation via a direct transfer from your IRA.  Making a QCD is as simple as contacting your investment advisor and instructing them to transfer your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) directly to For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation.

You can also go to our donation page and select “BANK ACCOUNT” to donate your QCD directly to For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation.

If you have any questions about the above methods of giving, please call our office at 267-708-0510 or email info@takeabreakfromcancer.org.
