Donor advised funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is an easy way to manage your charitable giving while receiving the most favorable tax benefits. If you have a DAF giving account at Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable or BNY Mellon, you can request a grant to Ceres using our widget: 

1. Select the sponsoring organization from the “Donate now from” drop down menu. 

2. Enter the amount (in US dollars) you would like to recommend in the “Amount” field. 

3. Click on the “NEXT” button to proceed to your DAF provider’s website to complete your transaction.

You can also direct these or any other DAF sponsoring organizations to make checks payable to Ceres and mail to: 

Ceres Inc. 
PO Box 843046 
Boston, MA 02284-3046 

Please ask your DAF representative to include your name and address on the distribution. 

If you do not have a DAF, contact your financial advisor to learn how to set up a charitable giving account. If you have any questions, please reach out to Melita Seibel at 617-247-0700, ext. 184. or [email protected].
