Increase your impact with charitable giving through a donor-advised fund. Through estate bequests or planned gifts,
you can make a meaningful difference for individuals with disabilities(other than blindness) — while also transforming
the lives of rescue dogs!

Donate through your Brokerage Designated Fund or any charitable giving account. We also accept used cars, trucks, boats, and RVs to support our mission.

What is a Donor Advised Fund?

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that combines favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support the causes you care about most. If you already have a donor-advised fund, DAF Direct allows you to recommend grants directly to Putnam Service Dogs from your fund — as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization participates.

Leave a Lasting Legacy with Planned Giving

Planned giving allows you to leave a lasting legacy that can change lives for generations. Your future gift to Putnam Service Dogs can:

  • Provide independence and support for individuals with disabilities.
