Donor Advised Funds

Support Fishline Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to support the causes you care about in a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way. By recommending a grant from your DAF to Fishline, you help provide food, emergency assistance, housing support, and essential services to individuals and families in our community.

How Does a Donor-Advised Fund Work?

Make a tax-deductible contribution.
Establish a DAF by contributing cash, stock, or other assets through a sponsoring organization such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable. You receive an immediate tax deduction for your contribution.

Allow your charitable resources to grow.
While you decide which organizations to support, the assets in your DAF may be invested and have the potential to grow tax-free, increasing your charitable impact.

Recommend grants to Fishline.
When you’re ready, recommend a grant from your DAF to Fishline. You can support our mission with a single gift or through ongoing grants that help sustain our programs throughout the year. Your sponsoring organization can connect with Fishline directly by calling our Development and Communications Director Amanda Dragon at (360) 779-5190 or amanda@fishlinehelps.org.

Fishline is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is eligible to receive grants from Donor-Advised Funds.

Liability Protection for Donors

​Both State and Federals laws protect donors from liability. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed Law 104-210, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, to encourage donations of food and grocery products to non-profit organizations for distribution to needy individuals. The law protects donors from civil and criminal liability should a fit and wholesome product donated in good faith later causes harm to a recipient.
