A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) acts like a charitable savings account, allowing you to make a charitable donation, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants to charitable organizations from your fund over time. Settlement Music School welcomes gifts from your DAF. 

Your gift may be made in honor or memory of a specific person or Settlement Music School program. Your tribute can be made online, via phone, or mail. Please provide the name and address of the tribute recipient so that we can provide notification of the honor. The recipient will be acknowledged on our annual donor rolls. A minimum gift of $25 is suggested for each tribute recipient.

If you work for a company that matches gifts to nonprofit organizations, your contribution may be doubled. Contact your Human Resources or Corporate Giving department to learn about your company’s matching gift policy. If you give $100, and your employer matches 1:1, that is $200 for Settlement! 

Please send your gift and matching gift form to:

Settlement Music School
ATTN: Advancement Department
P.O. Box 63966
Philadelphia, PA 19147
