When deployed
Donor Advised Funds are the fastest growing form of philanthropy* and have been shown to drastically increase support for critical causes*, once they are deployed.
There’s so many important causes in more need than ever this year. It’s not only important to give, but do so in a way that multiplies your generosity. DAF Day creates that exact opportunity: be part of a collective movement to give bigger & better — with DAFs.
*According to the 2025 DAF Fundraising Report, which found that DAF giving grew by 30% in 2024 vs. a -1% decline in non-DAF giving. The report also analyzed how DAF giving changes donor behavior and found that donors increased their giving an average of 10x once they switched to DAF usage - and the median change was 2x.
Why donors choose DAFs
A DAF (Donor Advised Fund) is a tax-advantaged savings account for charity—like a 401k for your generosity goals. DAFs help you become more impactful, efficient and strategic with your donations.
Give bigger
Tax savings & extra accountability mean more dollars for impact.
Give better
Manage donations centrally, use your DAF anywhere with DAFpay.
Give together
69% of DAF gifts are <$1,000 - DAFs work for every budget.
