Advancing the Mission through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Through thoughtful planned giving, contributors can make a positive difference, ensuring the men of Holy Cross
can continue to make God known, loved, and served by bringing the hope of the Gospel to all the world.

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows donors to make tax-deductible donations to a public charity, which then manages the invested funds and allows the donor to recommend grants to other qualified charities over time. It is a charitable savings account where donors can contribute assets, receive immediate tax benefits, and advise on how the funds are distributed to charities.

If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant, often using your charitable sponsor’s website, or by contacting your fund manager, directing your distribution to: 

Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province, Inc. 
P.O. Box 765 
Notre Dame, IN 46556-0765 
Tax identification number: 32-0344245 

Holy Cross Mission Center 
P.O. Box 543 
Notre Dame, IN 46556-0543 
Tax identification number: 52-6044122 

You can use your DAF to make recurring annual, quarterly, or monthly gifts, and you can include the Congregation of Holy Cross or the Holy Cross Mission Center in the succession plan for your DAF.
