Are there other ways to give from a donor-advised fund?
Many sponsoring organizations of donor-advised funds allow donors to recommend specific organizations to receive any assets remaining in the fund after they have passed away.
To recommend Cleveland Metroparks as the ultimate beneficiery or all or a portion of the remainder of your fund, please contact your sponsoring organization. You may need to provide Cleveland Metroparks name, address, and federal tax identification number (listed above).
