Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple way to manage your charitable giving and help save lives by recommending gifts to the Bangor Humane Society for use in its programs and services.

A donor-advised fund* (DAF) allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate income-tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. A DAF is like a charitable savings account: You contribute to the fund as frequently as you like and then recommend grants to your favorite charity when you’re ready.

*BHS does not directly manage Donor Advised Funds; however, DAFs can be established at many financial institutions or community foundations. The Bangor Humane Society doesn’t give individual tax advice, so please always consult your professional tax advisor on how a Donor Advised Fund might impact you specifically.

You can also choose to have any remaining DAF funds distributed to the Bangor Humane Society after your lifetime by naming BHS as a beneficiary of all or a portion of remaining funds. If you choose to do so, please use the following legal name and tax identification to identify BHS:
