Donor Advised fund (DAF)
A financial advisor may recommend setting up a DAF because of a tax event via a capital gain, inheritance or sale of a business. There are many benefits to donating to PAL via a DAF: immediate tax deduction, organizing mechanism for giving, time to make decisions and money that can grow tax free. A DAF also allows a donor to give non-cash assets an easier and less costly than setting up a private foundation (which are usually usded for larger amounts and for wealth preservation). Interested in learning more? Speak with your financial advisor about the next steps to give to PAL via a Donor Advised Fund.

Over 100 years later, your monthly gifts are helping PAL continue this same mission with a new generation of young people and police officers in New York City.
By giving monthly to PAL, you will become a member of the 1914 Club for Monthly Giving. Other benefits include:
- A contact to help with any questions or information
