Be a constant force for good in our community by becoming a Transformer. Your monthly gift has sustainable impact, is perfect for planning, easy to manage, and paves the way for local transformation.

A donor‐advised fund (DAF) provides donors with a centralized charitable account. It allows individuals, families and businesses to make a donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF and take an immediate tax deduction.
