Giving Through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
A grant from your donor advised fund (DAF) can help sustain the movement for gender, racial, and economic justice for the long-term. You can recommend a grant from your DAF through your fund administrator, set up recurring grants from your DAF, or name The New York Women’s Foundation as the beneficiary of your DAF.
For more information, contact Kerry-Ann Henry at khenry@nywf.org.
Donate Stock
There are many incentives and benefits to donating appreciated stock or mutual funds to maximize your philanthropic impact. To donate stock, email us at gifts@nywf.org and let us know how many shares of the stock that you will be donating. We do not always receive information about the donor, so it is important for you to let us know directly so we can appropriately credit and acknowledge your gift.
For more information, contact Kerry-Ann Henry at khenry@nywf.org.
Make a Legacy Gift
A legacy gift is a lasting investment that can provide important benefits to you and The New York Women’s Foundation. Making a legacy commitment is a way to ensure the growth and stability of The Foundation long-term and is a wonderful tribute to how much our mission means to you. We recognize donors who choose to make this type of gift by inducting them into the Polly W. Guth Legacy Circle.
