Put Your Donor-Advised Fund to Work for Pride of Baltimore II

Recommend a grant today to support sailing programs, education, and Maryland’s maritime heritage—sharing America’s story of freedom, ingenuity, and tradition with the world.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving tool that allows you to contribute cash or other assets into an investment account that grows tax-free. You receive an immediate tax deduction for your contributions and can recommend grants from your DAF to charities you care about—like Pride of Baltimore, Inc.

By using a DAF, you can support Pride’s sailing programs, ship maintenance, and educational outreach while benefiting from tax incentives and creating a lasting legacy through strategic giving.

How to Give from Your DAF

  1. Contact your DAF sponsoring organization.
  2. Recommend a grant to Pride of Baltimore, Inc. using our Tax ID: 52-1189136.
  3. Your grant directly supports Pride’s mission of preserving Maryland’s maritime heritage and inspiring new generations.

Put Your Donor-Advised Fund to Work—Today

#HalfMyDAF is matching grants in 2025!

If you give from a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can make your gift go even further. When you commit to spending half of your DAF funds by the end of September, your grants become eligible for matching funds—amplifying your impact for Pride of Baltimore, Inc. and other nonprofits.

This year, #HalfMyDAF is awarding at least $2.25 million in matching grants via two drawings:

  • The first drawing on June 30, 2025 awarded $1.1 million in matching grants.
  • The second drawing is open until 9 a.m. on October 10, 2025—don’t miss your chance!

How to participate:

  1. Contact your DAF sponsor to recommend a grant to Pride of Baltimore, Inc.
  2. Make sure your grant is submitted before the deadline to be eligible for matching funds.
  3. Enjoy knowing your generosity goes further—helping keep Pride sailing, supporting education, and preserving Maryland’s maritime heritage.

Since 2020, #HalfMyDAF has moved over $80 million from DAFs to thousands of nonprofits. Our partner, Amalgamated Foundation, is the DAF sponsor issuing the matches and promoting this campaign to their account holders.

With over $251 billion in DAFs across the U.S., there’s enormous potential to put these funds to work for causes that matter—like Pride. Join #HalfMyDAF today and make your DAF dollars go further.
