Gifts from Your Donor Advised Trust
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a tax-advantageous, charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting your preferred charitable organizations. When initiating a grant from your DAF, first select PTS as your recipient organization. If asked, select “where most needed” or “annual campaign” for the purpose of your contribution. Then, send an email to finance@ sholom.org to let us know the particulars (amount, details of intended purpose, and the name of the sending financial institution). This way, we will be sure to code it correctly when it arrives.
If Peninsula Temple Sholom is not already on your list of approved recipients, contact customer service at the financial institution where your DAF is held. To add PTS as a registered charity on your account please provide our information as listed:
Peninsula Temple Sholom
1655 Sebastian Drive
Burlingame, CA 94010
Tax ID# 94-6024560
Please find helpful information about DAF grants from Fidelity Charitable Giving Accounts, Schwab Charitable Gift Account, and The Jewish Community Federation DAF.
