Donor Advised Funds & Stock Gifts
Giving from Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are an easy and tax-efficient tool for charitable giving.
DAFs are like your own private foundation without any of the administrative red tape, providing an immediate tax deduction for your charitable contribution, while also allowing you time to decide when you want to make a grant from the fund.
You can use your Donor Advised Fund to:
- Strategically give to your favorite causes over time
- Involve your family in charitable decisions
- Create a lasting legacy of philanthropy
- Consolidate all your charitable giving (if you wish)
When you make a DAF gift, the brokerage firm may not share your information with us.
Please fill out the form below when you have made a gift so we can thank you for your support

Making A Gift of Stocks

You can make a stock gift via electronic transfer through your broker.
If you are ready to make a stock gift, fill out the form and then you will be guided to San Diego Rescue Mission information to share with your broker.
Benefits of Making an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift
With an IRA Charitable Rollover, you can lovingly address the needs of homeless neighbors in San Diego while netting favorable financial benefits.
IRA Charitable Rollovers allow you to make tax-free charitable gifts directly from your Individual Retirement Accounts to eligible charities without first recognizing it as income. If you’re 70.5 or older, you can join your fellow Rescue Mission supporters who make tax-free gifts from their Traditional IRAs once a year.
How to Make a Gift from your IRA
You can request an IRA Distribution Form from your financial custodian and either mail it back to them or complete the gift transaction over the phone with your financial custodian.
Whether you prefer to fill out IRA Charitable Rollover forms by hand or over the phone with your account custodian, please provide details about your intended gift to the San Diego Rescue Mission by filling out the form below.
Financial custodians do not always share your information with us. We will use this information only to acknowledge and thank you for your charitable gift when it is received.
