A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about—now and into the future.
With a DAF, you can recommend grants to multiple charities during your lifetime. You can also name successors—such as your children or other loved ones—to continue recommending grants, creating a lasting legacy of generosity.
You may direct all or part of your donor-advised fund to United Way of Pierce County to help strengthen families and build a more resilient community.

You can request a distribution from your donor-advised fund at any time. To support United Way of Pierce County, please contact your fund advisor and recommend a grant using:
