More Ways to Give
No Gift is Off the Table
Explore these impactful giving opportunities and make a lasting difference.
Donor Advised Funds (DAF) allow you to make a grant from your fund or foundation, serving as a philanthropic vehicle enabling individuals, families or organizations to make charitable contributions, receive an immediate tax deduction and recommend grants to ISF.
Isabella Santos Foundation
9935-D Rea Road, Unit 275,
Charlotte, NC 28277
EIN: 26-1332748
Set up recurring grants from your DAF to help sustain the lifesaving mission of ISF. Contact your fund administrator and choose your preferred grant frequency.
Name ISF as the beneficiary of your DAF to support our mission beyond your own lifetime. Simply contact your fund administrator to do so.
For assistance or questions, contact Dominique Lee.
Gifts of stock are a valuable way to support charitable organizations, and when you donate appreciated stocks or securities to ISF, you receive several benefits:
Tax Deduction: You can generally deduct the full fair market value of the stock as a charitable contribution on your federal income tax return, provided you have owned the stock for more than one year.
Avoid Capital Gains Tax: By donating appreciated stock directly to ISF, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation of the stock — this means you can maximize the impact of your donation by giving more to support our mission.
Support a Cause You Care About: Your gift of stock helps ISF continue its lifesaving work in rare pediatric cancer research and treatment, providing hope to children and families facing these devastating diseases.
Commemorate a special milestone with the gift that keeps giving. Dedicate your gift in celebration of a person or any occasion.
Honor giving is a meaningful way to honor or commemorate a special person or event, while supporting a mission that makes a big difference.
Donating to ISF on behalf of someone means you’re giving back to your community in a charitable way with that person in mind.
When making your donation, enter the recipient’s information, and we’ll send them a personalized note to notify them of your gift.
Donate by mail.

Planned giving to the Isabella Santos Foundation offers a meaningful way to support our mission of advancing treatments and ensuring a brighter future for rare cancer heroes worldwide.
By including ISF in your giving plans, you can leave a lasting legacy while achieving your financial goals.
Here’s how to make a planned gift:
- Bequests: You can include a gift to ISF in your will or living trust. This allows you to designate a specific amount, percentage or asset to support our mission, ensuring that your generosity continues to make a difference for years to come.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: By establishing a charitable remainder trust, you can provide income for yourself or your loved ones during your lifetime, with the remaining assets ultimately benefiting children with rare cancer. This can be a tax-efficient way to support our mission while also providing for your family.
- Gifts of Retirement Assets: Designating ISF as a beneficiary of your retirement account, such as an IRA or 401(k), can significantly support our organization while potentially reducing taxes on your estate.
- Gifts of Life Insurance: You can name ISF as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or transfer ownership of a policy to support our mission, allowing donors to make a substantial gift with relatively modest premium payments.
- Charitable Gift Annuities: By establishing a charitable gift annuity with ISF, you can receive fixed life payments while supporting our work. This option provides financial security for you and your loved ones and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact.
No matter which planned giving option you choose, your support will help ensure that ISF can continue to provide lifesaving treatments, groundbreaking research and compassionate care to children and families facing the challenges of pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children worldwide.
