Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds 

With a donor advised fund (DAF), you establish a charitable giving account through a contribution to a fund administrator. If you have a DAF, you can recommend a one-time grant or recurring grants to support the work of Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.  

To Recommend a Grant to LSS 

Contact your fund administrator to recommend a grant to LSS. The process may vary, but most fund administrators will require the following information: 

Organization Name: Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan 

Address: 6737 W Washington St, Suite 2275, Milwaukee, WI 53214 

Tax ID or EIN: 39-0816846 

Contact Person: Cory Anshus, Director of Donor Engagement, 414-246-2319, corrine.anshus@lsswis.org 

Do More With Your DAF 

You may name LSS or the LSS Foundation (EIN 39-1242451) to receive your DAF account balance after your lifetime. Contact your fund administrator to add a charitable beneficiary for remaining funds. 

Resources for Establishing a DAF 

You can establish or grow your DAF with cash and/or other types of assets. Many LSS donors establish DAFs with partners such as the ELCA Foundation, Thrivent Charitable, community foundations and other charitable funds that administer DAFs to support donors who wish to establish a donor advised fund.
