The Urgent Reality

Childhood cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in American children, yet pediatric research receives less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget. Within that underfunded category, osteosarcoma · a bone cancer that strikes in the mid-teens · has seen survival rates barely improve in 40 years.

The Bardo Foundation has committed $500,000 to the Break Through Cancer Osteosarcoma TeamLab: a coordinated four-year effort uniting eight leading institutions. Your DAF grant extends this runway.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account at a public charity or financial institution. It allows you to make a tax-deductible contribution, let the funds grow tax-free, and recommend grants to qualified nonprofits like The Bardo Foundation over time. DAFs hold over $250 billion in assets and distribute $54 billion in annual grants, making them among the fastest-growing charitable vehicles in the United States.
How do I grant to The Bardo Foundation from my DAF?
The fastest way is the DAFpay widget at the top of this page. It works with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, Daffy, Morgan Stanley GIFT, and hundreds more. Alternatively, log into your fund administrator's portal and recommend a grant using our legal name (The Bardo Foundation Inc) and EIN (30-1281323).
Are DAF grants tax-deductible?
You received your deduction when you contributed to your DAF. Grants from your DAF to The Bardo Foundation do not generate an additional deduction, but they direct your already tax-advantaged charitable funds to childhood cancer research at no further cost to you.
Can I make recurring grants from my DAF?
Yes. Many administrators allow monthly, quarterly, or annual recurring grants. Recurring support is especially valuable because it provides the predictable funding researchers need to sustain multi-year clinical trials.
What types of assets can I contribute to a DAF?
Cash, publicly traded securities, long-term appreciated assets, real estate, and other non-cash assets. Donating appreciated stock is especially tax-efficient: you can avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a fair market value deduction.
How much does it cost to open a DAF?
Minimums vary. Some institutions like Daffy have no minimum; others (Fidelity, Schwab) typically start at $5,000. Annual fees range from 0.15% to 0.60% of account balance, though many sponsors offer no-fee options for cash-based funds.
Can I name The Bardo Foundation as a beneficiary?
Yes. By naming The Bardo Foundation as a full or partial beneficiary, you create a lasting legacy that funds childhood cancer research beyond your lifetime. Contact your fund administrator to update your designation using our legal name and EIN.
What's the difference between a DAF and a private foundation?
DAFs are simpler to establish with no startup costs or annual filing requirements. Private foundations require more oversight, including annual filings, minimum 5% distribution rules, and board governance. Tax advantages are generally more favorable with DAFs, including higher deduction limits.
Are there minimum payout requirements for DAFs?
Unlike private foundations, DAFs currently have no federally mandated minimum payout requirement. Policies vary by institution. We encourage granting regularly so your funds can make an impact now, when children need it most.
What information should I include in my grant recommendation?
Include our legal name (The Bardo Foundation Inc), EIN (30-1281323), and address (2555 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Suite 600, Coral Gables, FL 33134). Also include your full name and email in the notes field so we can acknowledge your gift and keep you updated on the research it supports.

Together, We Can End Childhood Cancer.

Thousands of children around the world are still waiting for a chance to heal, to grow, to dream. Your donor-advised fund can bring hope, treatment, and life-saving research to those who need it most.
