Southeast Missouri State University is pleased to provide a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) program for donors who wish to support Southeast as well as other charities they care about. A DAF allows you to set aside assets for charitable purposes and receive an immediate charitable deduction. You receive the maximum tax benefits at the time of your gift but recommend the charitable recipients of your generosity in the future.
Once you have created a DAF, you can add to it at any time and continue to be involved in all decisions regarding distributions to our charities of choice. In addition, families can build a tradition of giving through a DAF and teach their children the value of philanthropy by involving them in the decisions about which grants to recommend. Plus, you can name your children as the next generation of fund advisors to carry forward a true legacy of giving.
The Donor Dashboard provides a higher level of communication and service for our donors through a secure web environment. When you access your Donor Dashboard with a user name and a password, you can select individual areas of interest and ask questions through a secure messaging center. Once you have established a DAF, you can also submit grant recommendations, review grant history, grant status, new giving opportunities and receive impact reports and updates directly from grant recipients.
This site and your private information are fully secured with latest technologies and practices.
