There are many ways to support teens
There are many easy and direct ways to help Micro Grants expand via your generosity. In an effort to make giving as easy as possible – outside of ad-hoc given by way of the donation button listed throughout the site – you may also want to consider a more formalized method of giving as part of your yearly charitable involvement. To help accomplish this please see the following links on different methods of engagement.
Donor-Advised Fund Gifts
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is an excellent opportunity to involve you and your family in a long-term charitable giving plan. You can establish a DAF with a charitable sponsor by signing an agreement and making a contribution to the fund. Charitable fund sponsors include community foundations as well as the charitable arms of for-profit financial institutions. Examples include: You and/or other individuals may serve as fund advisors and recommend grants to charities, including gifts to SGFoundation. Benefits of Giving Through
