DAF GIVING

Make a Lasting Impact Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

Supporting ECC through your Donor-Advised Fund is one of the simplest, most effective ways to strengthen programs that help children of all abilities thrive.


What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that combines favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support multiple nonprofits—like ECC—over time.


By establishing a DAF, you can:

  • Receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction for your contribution
  • Donate cash, stock, and other assets at your convenience
  • Recommend grants to one or many charities over several years
  • Consolidate your charitable giving with one simple tax receipt
  • Use your DAF alongside or instead of a private foundation


DAFs are designed to make philanthropy easy—and impactful.


Why Give Through Your DAF

When you give through your Donor-Advised Fund, you directly support the Elaine Clark Center’s mission: empowering children and young adults of all abilities to become confident, contributing members of their communities through inclusive education, therapeutic play, and experiential learning.


DAF gifts provide flexible, reliable funding that strengthens essential services across every ECC program—from Pediatric Nursing and Therapeutic Intervention to Social Services and scholarships for families with financial need.

Your Support Makes Stories Like Carolines’s Possible

Caroline, who is Autistic and non-verbal, first came to the Elaine Clark Center in 1997 as a joyful two-year-old whose family was searching for a small, supportive environment where she could thrive. Over the past 25 years, ECC has been that constant—supporting her through early childhood, summer camps, after-school programs, and now ECC Life. Her mother, Kathy, shares how ECC has strengthened Caroline’s communication, independence, and life skills while surrounding their family with trusted teachers, steady guidance, and deep community. Today, Caroline is welcomed and included by a caring group of young adults in ECC Life, continuing the relationships and sense of belonging that have defined her journey. Donors make stories like Caroline’s possible.


Your generosity makes moments like this possible.
