Maximize Your Impact: Give via Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

If your DAF sponsor has Chances Community Network in its nonprofit database, you may recommend CCN as a charitable recipient.

When making your recommendation, use:

     Legal Name: Chances Community Network
   Tax ID / EIN: 39-4034372
   Organization Status: 501(c)(3) Public Charity

If you cannot locate CCN in your DAF sponsor's system, please contact the CCN Giving Office for assistance.

DAF contributions may help support CCN's charitable programs and community initiatives, including:

• Financial literacy and financial capability
• Youth entrepreneurship and leadership development
• Workforce development
• Homeownership education and housing counseling
• Small-business and entrepreneurship support
• Economic mobility and wealth-building initiatives
• Sponsor-A-Seat scholarships and program participation
• Community education and resource navigation

Your gift helps CCN create pathways toward economic stability, ownership, and generational success.

CCN welcomes charitable support at all levels. The minimum amount that can be recommended through a DAF is generally determined by the donor's DAF sponsoring organization.

There is no requirement that donors establish a DAF with CCN.

No. A DAF is one of several ways to support CCN.

Donors may also support CCN through direct charitable contributions, sponsorships, corporate giving, foundation grants, and other charitable giving opportunities.

The process is generally simple:

     1. Log in to your DAF account.
Access your account through your DAF sponsoring organization.

     2. Select "Recommend a Grant" or the equivalent option.

     3. Search for Chances Community Network.

     4. Verify the organization information.

     5. Enter the amount of your recommended grant.

     6. Select whether the gift is unrestricted or specify an eligible   

          charitable purpose.

     7. Submit your recommendation.

The DAF sponsor will review and process the recommendation before sending the charitable grant to CCN.

Yes. 

DAFs can be incorporated into broader philanthropic strategies involving individuals, families, businesses, and charitable giving teams.

CCN welcomes conversations with donors and advisors interested in creating a long-term charitable partnership.

DAF contributions are generally made to the DAF sponsoring organization, and the donor's charitable contribution is generally associated with the contribution to the DAF rather than the later grant recommendation.

CCN can provide acknowledgment of a DAF grant when donor information is provided.

For tax questions, donors should consult their tax professional.

Your DAF grant can help CCN expand access to programs that promote:

Financial Capability → Entrepreneurship → Homeownership → Economic Mobility → Wealth Building

Rather than simply addressing today's challenges, CCN works to help individuals and families develop the knowledge, resources, and opportunities needed to build stronger financial futures.
