During your lifetime, you can recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund to prepare tomorrow’s leaders through Southern Nazarene University. You may choose to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact.

Create Your Legacy of Philanthropy

The final distribution of contributions remaining in your DAF after your lifetime can be designated when you create or update your fund.

If you decide to change your beneficiary designation, would you let us know? We would like to recognize you for your generosity and ensure that your gift is used as you intend.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about setting up your legacy gift or if you need more information.

6 ways you can make an impact with your donor-advised fund

Memorialize, honor, or commemorate a loved one or an event.

+

Avoid capital gains by first transferring appreciated stock to your DAF and then gifting it to the causes that matter to you.

w

Teach your loved ones about charity and why you believe in giving back.

Build community and make an impact by forming “giving circles” with other DAF owners, including friends and family. While SNU does not coordinate giving circles, you can create or join a group and use your DAF to support its strategic initiatives.

Bundle your charitable gifts (doing so could result in an opportunity to itemize your deductions in the same year).

Leave all or a portion of your account to charity simply by changing your beneficiary designation.

We hope you will consider naming SNU as a beneficiary of your account. You may even designate SNU to receive a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children or grandchildren to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
