Make a Gift through your Donor Advised Fund

The donor-advised fund (DAF) is becoming an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:      

  • Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to Boston Public Library Fund.
  • Designate Boston Public Library Fund to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.  

You can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals to support the Boston Public Library Fund. Just contact your fund administrator to request a distribution or beneficiary form or download the appropriate form(s) from your administrator’s website.

If you include Boston Public Library Fund in your plans, please let us know and use our legal name and federal tax ID.

Legal Name:  Boston Public Library Fund
Address:  700 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116
Federal Tax ID Number: 04-3150560

Recommend a donation through DAF Direct.

Let us know that you are recommending a grant through your DAF to the Boston Public Library Fund
