Create Your Legacy of Philanthropy
The final distribution of contributions remaining in your DAF after your lifetime can be designated when you create or update your fund.
We hope you will consider naming San Jose State as a beneficiary of your account. You may even designate San Jose State to receive a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children, grandchildren or other family members to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
Tell Us About Your Gift!
If you decide to change your beneficiary designation, would you let us know? We would like to recognize you for your generosity and ensure that your gift is used as you intend. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about setting up your legacy gift or if you need more information.

Build a sense of community and make a bigger impact by forming “giving circles” with other donor-advised fund owners, including friends and family members.
