Give Through Your Investments

Donor-Advised Funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle because they are the easiest, and most tax-savvy way to give.

Donate from hundreds of Donor-Advised Fund providers on our website or through your DAF Direct Portal.

Donating appreciated stocks, securities, or mutual funds may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift.

You can also name the KFC Foundation as a beneficiary of these assets as part of your estate planning.
