Consider growing your investment in our mission with a contribution from your donor-advised fund (DAF).

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare. Through a DAF, you can contribute cash or assets, get the tax benefit upfront, invest the balance in the market, and make grants out to nonprofits over time. Any person, couple, family — or even a company — can open a DAF account at more than 1,150 providers around the country. 

DAFs are offered by community foundations, charitable affiliates of financial institutions, national independent providers, and cause-specific entities. DAFs have surged in popularity in recent years because they’re incredibly effective at increasing giving capacity and streamlining philanthropy — for donors big & small. If you haven’t already, ask your financial institution how to set up a DAF today.

By centralizing giving in a DAF, you streamline and organize your philanthropy — set goals, increase accountability, and see all your donations in one place, so you save time and support more causes.
