Give through yourdonor-advised fund.
You set those dollars apart to do good. Recommend a grant to AIM today, and put them to work rescuing, healing, and transforming lives. The freedom you fund is real.
The gift is already set apart. Freedom is waiting on it.
A donor-advised fund is one of the most powerful ways to give. You have already made the decision to be generous. The money is already committed to good. All that remains is to send it where it can change a life, and there is a child, a survivor, a whole community counting on exactly that kind of partner.
Billions are waiting on the sidelines.
Donor-advised funds hold enormous good that has not yet been released. Dollars already dedicated to charity, sitting still, while the need is now.
What a donor-advised fund actually is.
Think of a donor-advised fund as your own charitable savings account. You contribute cash or appreciated assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to the causes you love, on your own timeline. When you are ready, you point those dollars at freedom.
An immediate tax deduction
When you contribute to your DAF, you may claim a charitable deduction that year, even if you grant the funds to AIM later.
Skip the capital gains
Fund your DAF with appreciated stock or other assets held over a year, and you can often avoid capital gains tax while deducting the full fair-market value.
Give on your timeline
Contribute now for the tax benefit, then recommend grants to AIM whenever you are ready. One gift, or a steady rhythm of rescue.
Esther walked out. She never walked back.
Behind every gift is a name. A grant from a fund like yours pays for the rescue, the counseling, the safe home, and the years of restoration that turn survival into a future. This is not a transaction. It is a life set free.
Watch Esther tell it in her own words, then imagine what the dollars already in your DAF could do next.
How to give to AIM from your DAF.
It takes only a few minutes with your DAF provider. Here is everything you and your sponsor need.
Recommend a grant through your provider
Log in to your DAF sponsor, such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or your community foundation, and recommend a grant to AIM.
Use our legal name and tax ID
Your sponsor will ask for our organization name and EIN. Both are in the panel to the right.
Add your name to the grant memo
DAF sponsors share limited donor information with us. Please add “Your Name, DAF” to the grant note so we can thank you personally.
Let us know it is coming
Email give@aimfree.org so we can watch for your grant, confirm it arrived, and tell you exactly what it set in motion.
Grant Details for AIM
Donor-advised funds, answered.
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving account you open through a sponsor such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable. You contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to the charities you choose, on your own timeline. AIM is proud to be one of those charities.
What assets can I contribute to a DAF?
Most sponsors accept cash, publicly traded stock, mutual funds, and cryptocurrency, and some accept other assets. Contributing appreciated assets held over a year can be especially tax-smart, since you may avoid capital gains tax and deduct the full fair-market value if you itemize.
Are my DAF gifts tax-deductible?
You generally receive your charitable deduction in the year you contribute to the DAF, not when you grant the funds to AIM. Because tax situations differ, please confirm the details with your own financial or tax advisor.
Can I set up recurring grants to AIM?
Yes. Most DAF sponsors let you schedule automatic, recurring grants. Many partners give to AIM monthly from their DAF, turning dollars already set apart into a steady rhythm of rescue.
What information does AIM need from a DAF gift?
Please have your sponsor send the grant to Agape International Missions, EIN 94-3100052, and add “Your Name, DAF” to the memo. Then email give@aimfree.org so we can connect the gift to you and thank you.
I already have a DAF. What is the first step?
Log in to your sponsor, choose “recommend a grant,” search for Agape International Missions or enter our EIN, and send it. The whole process usually takes just a few minutes.
Free more. Give smarter.
The generosity is already yours. Point it at freedom, and a survivor you may never meet will spend the rest of her life grateful you did. Recommend your grant to AIM today.
An Invitation, Not Advice
This page is an invitation to consider whether a donor-advised fund is a good fit for your generosity. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Every family’s situation is unique, and tax rules change. Please consult your own financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney before making a gift, and confirm any figures against current law.
