Craft Alliance members keep our wheels spinning, weaving shuttles flying, torches burning, and craft education thriving. Because of their generous support, we believe members deserve more. From exclusive discounts and early camp registration to exhibition previews and special member events, there is so much craft to explore this year!
Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor advised fund (DAF) provides an easy way to make significant charitable gifts with immediate tax benefits and deductions, and allows you to give back to a cause that’s close to your heart.
How to recommend a gift to Craft Alliance:
1. Request a grant distribution through your DAF sponsor.
2. Be sure to use Craft Alliance’s EIN # 43-1022226.
3. Indicate whether your gift is unrestricted or designated to a specific cause i.e. program, annual fund, appeal. You can also designate Craft Alliance as a beneficiary for your donor advised fund.
Matching Gifts
Many employers are happy to match your donations to 503(c) nonprofits. When combined with your gift, these matches can double your contribution! Don’t forget, employers can also match your Membership dues!
