What is a designated charitable gift?
A designated gift expresses a donor’s intention that the charity use funds for a named program or purpose, subject to the organization’s accepted terms and charitable responsibility.
What this means in practice
Read the donation policy before giving because field conditions, full funding, access, or program closure can affect implementation.
A designation to a program is different from a gift legally earmarked for one named individual.
Clear program choices help Famidi plan and report while preserving the responsible flexibility described in its policy.
How Famidi approaches donor trust
Famidi publishes its legal identity, EIN, program explanations, policies, filing links, and evidence boundaries so a donor can verify the organization without relying on promotional language alone.
This is general educational information. Tax treatment and legal obligations can change, and a donor should use current IRS guidance or a qualified adviser for a decision about personal circumstances.
Check the underlying information.
