Estate Planning
Casa Franciscana Outreach Accepts Funds from your Stock Portfolio Directly from Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments & Others
Donor-advised funds (DAF) are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they
are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to a charity. When you contribute cash,
securities or other assets through a DAF to a public charity, like Casa Franciscana Outreach, you are generally
eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth and given as
“grants” to us as an IRS-qualified public charity.
We’re excited to announce our ability to use the DAF Direct option within Charles Schwab, Fidelity
Investments and BYN Mellon for an automated deposit. Just login into your investment account and select
the DAF option or click the link, select your investment company and it will take you to your account -

If you don’t use those investment options, you may donate by working with your investment company to
manually direct your donation to our account noted below.

Prayer
As wonderful as our missionaries are, they are only human and sometimes become tired, frustrated, angry or sad. Please pray that God will continue to give them the grace, the will and the energy to serve. Follow this link to the Missionaries’ Prayer and please consider incorporating them and the people they minister to in your daily prayers:
Amazon Smile
More and more people shop Amazon for everything from food items to the latest electronic fad. The Amazon Smile Program contributes a percent of select Amazon purchases to the charity of your choice.

Matching Funds
Thousands of employers match their employees’ charitable contributions. Some also match contributions for retirees. This does not cost you anything but a few minutes and could substantially impact the Mission programs. Investigate if your employer matches donations and what you must do to include the Casa Franciscana Outreach. Employers may verify your donation by emailing to casafranciscanaoutreach@gmail.com or ground mail at CFO, P.O. Box 15576, Scottsdale, AZ 85267. Remember, we are a U.S. 501C3 nonprofit organization. A partial list of matching employers is found at our Corporate Matching Gifts page.
