Every day, WUCF connects Central Floridians to trusted information, educational resources, local storytelling, arts and culture, and lifelong learning. 

When you recommend a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you're helping ensure that these resources remain available to our community for years to come.  

Donor-Advised Funds continue to grow in popularity because they provide a flexible way to support charitable organizations over time. Whether your fund is held at Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, a community foundation, or another sponsoring organization, recommending a grant to WUCF is a meaningful way to support public media in Central Florida.

A gift through your Donor-Advised Fund is a simple way to invest in a stronger, more connected Central Florida. Your support helps makes possible:

• Educational resources for families, caregivers, and educators
• Trusted public media programming
• Local stories that reflect Central Florida
• Jazz, arts, and cultural experiences
• Community engagement and lifelong learning opportunities

We've partnered with DAFpay to make giving from your Donor-Advised Fund fast, secure, and convenient. With just a few clicks, you can recommend a grant directly from your Donor-Advised Fund without leaving our website.

You may also recommend a grant directly through your Donor-Advised Fund administrator.

Please make checks payable to:

WUCF / UCF Foundation, Inc.
12461 Research Parkway, Suite 550
Orlando, FL 32826-3203

EIN: 59-6211832

Because WUCF is licensed to the University of Central Florida, charitable contributions are received and administered through the UCF Foundation, Inc., our 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner.

When you make a gift to the WUCF, we will officially acknowledge your generosity by letter and email. 

When recommending a grant through your Donor-Advised Fund, please ask your fund administrator to include your name and mailing address with the distribution.

Occasionally we receive anonymous grants, which makes it difficult to thank donors personally and ensure gifts are properly credited to donor records.

When we know who recommended the grant, we can:

• Thank you personally
• Ensure your gift is credited correctly
• Share updates about the impact your support makes possible

IRS regulations prohibit donors from receiving goods or services in exchange for gifts made through a Donor-Advised Fund. As a result, DAF gifts are not eligible for thank-you gifts or other donor benefits tied to a contribution.

We will, however, gladly acknowledge your generosity through an acknowledgement letter with our sincere gratitude.
