Use your tax-deductible donor-advised fund (DAF) to make a gift to Cornell. Typically, donors will visit their external DAF portal and request that their custodian issue us a grant (Legal Name: Cornell University, Federal Tax Identification Number: 15-0532082 ). Your administrator will typically mail the check to the primary address they have on file for Cornell, or your administrator may send us the funds electronically. Either way, please make us aware of this forthcoming gift, so that we can ensure that it is properly allocated and designated.

Email our Gift Cashier at cugiftcashier@cornell.edu with the following information:

1. Name of DAF administrator
2. Amount of the forthcoming check
3. Area of designation at Cornell
4. Date of distribution request

Alternatively, you can fill out our external DAF giving form instead.

Need further help directing your gift to Cornell? Give us a call at 1-800-279-3099, or email cfund@cornell.edu. Please note that gifts from your external donor-advised fund may take some time to arrive at Cornell, and we encourage that year-end distributions be timed appropriately.
