Donor-Advised Funds

Give from your DAF in minutes

If you have a donor-advised fund at Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or another sponsoring organization, you can recommend a grant to GMI directly from your account.

DAF grants are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give — and one of the fastest ways to make a meaningful impact on students entering the workforce.

  • Use the widget to search for your DAF provider.
  • Log in to your DAF account through the secure connection.
  • Recommend a grant to Global Mentorship Initiative.
  • Your sponsoring organization processes the grant and notifies GMI.

Don’t see your DAF provider listed? Contact us at ravenna.hennane@globalmentorship.org and we’ll help you complete your gift manually.

Stock & Mutual Fund Gifts

Your full gift goes further — no capital gains deducted

Gifting publicly traded stock or mutual funds that have appreciated in value is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Your full gift goes further with no capital gains deducted, and you may claim the full fair market value as a charitable deduction. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific circumstances.

  • Log in to your brokerage account and find the transfer or “transfer out” section — usually under Transfers, Move Money, or Account Services.
  • Select “Transfer shares to another brokerage” (sometimes called an ACATS or DTC transfer) rather than a cash transfer or wire.
  • Enter GMI’s receiving account details using the table to the right.
  • Choose the shares and quantity you want to donate, then submit the transfer.
  • Save or screenshot the confirmation your broker provides — you will want the trade date and share count for your records.
  • Let us know it is coming. Complete the notification form below with your name, the security, and the number of shares. This allows us to match the incoming transfer to your record and issue your receipt promptly. Unmatched transfers can take several weeks to trace.

Every brokerage handles this a little differently — some require a signed letter of authorization, others a phone call. If your firm’s process looks different from the steps above, that is normal.
