Donate to SeriousFun via Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Your fund becomes their freedom to thrive.
Children living with serious illnesses deserve the chance to experience joy, friendship, and belonging. By recommending a grant to SeriousFun Children’s Network through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can make that possible — always free of charge for every child and family.

What Is A Donor Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-smart way to give to causes you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction. From there, you can recommend grants over time to SeriousFun Children’s Network and other charities.
A DAF is often compared to a 401(k) for retirement, or an HSA for healthcare—but instead of saving for yourself, you’re investing in your philanthropy.
You can contribute cash, stocks, mutual funds, or even more complex assets like real estate or private company shares, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants to your favorite charities over time. Because the money can be invested and grow, your giving capacity expands.
Best of all, a DAF gives you flexibility—you choose when, where, and how much to give, making it an easy and powerful way to maximize your impact and even involve your family in the joy of giving.
