Estimated Initial Contribution (Optional)

Contribution directly from IRA? (Optional)

Yes

Although a donor-advised fund is ineligible to receive contributions from IRA's tax-free, you may wish to consider a contribution to the Sustainable Disaster-Relief Fund (SDRF). The SDRF is a field-of-interest fund, which is often able to accept direct distributions tax-free from an IRA. Individuals should consult a tax advisor before contributing.
