Humanity First USA has earned a Gold seal from Candid (Guidestar)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows donors to make tax-deductible contributions to a fund, recommend grants to their favorite nonprofits over time, and grow their donations through investment. DAFs are simple, flexible, and powerful tools for philanthropy.
Donors can typically recommend grants to Humanity First USA through major donor-advised fund providers such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, National Philanthropic Trust, and many community foundations. Log in to your DAF provider’s online portal, search for Humanity First USA, and recommend a grant in the amount of your choice (EIN 20-0464012). Once approved by the sponsoring organization, the funds are sent directly to Humanity First USA to support humanitarian programs and services.
Donors can include program preferences when submitting a grant recommendation. Our team works to honor donor intent whenever possible while ensuring funds are used effectively to advance our mission.
Yes. Many donor-advised fund providers allow donors to schedule recurring grants to charitable organizations. Recurring support can help Humanity First USA sustain long-term humanitarian programs, respond to emergencies, and plan for future community needs.
Donor-advised fund grants help Humanity First USA provide humanitarian assistance to communities facing hardship. DAF contributions support programs such as food security, disaster relief, health initiatives, education, and other efforts that help people build healthier, more resilient futures.
DAF contributions also expand the impact of long-term infrastructure to sustain communities like schools, hospitals, water systems, and agriculture. See some of the current projects on this page or reach out to fundraiser@humanityfirstusa.org with any questions.
Many advisors seek nonprofit organizations that combine humanitarian impact, efficient program delivery, transparency, and opportunities for both immediate relief and long-term development. Humanity First USA supports communities with seven US and international development programs, offering donors a variety of ways to align their giving with their charitable goals. We have earned a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid and 4/4 stars from Charity Navigator.
Yes. Advisors and donors may recommend support for specific initiatives, including disaster response, food security, healthcare, education, water projects, and other humanitarian programs. Humanity First USA works with donors and advisors to help align charitable investments with programmatic needs and donor interests whenever possible.
Humanity First USA can help identify high-impact funding opportunities for donor-advised fund portfolios. Our team can discuss areas of greatest need, strategic growth opportunities, emergency response efforts, and program expansion initiatives. For advisors managing charitable giving portfolios, this can help identify opportunities where donor support may have significant and measurable humanitarian impact.
Humanity First USA welcomes relationships with donor-advised fund advisors, philanthropic consultants, family office professionals, and charitable giving teams seeking high-impact giving opportunities for their clients. Our team can provide information regarding its mission, programs, organizational structure, financial stewardship, impact reporting, and current funding priorities. We understand that advisors often seek detailed information to help clients evaluate charitable opportunities and make confident giving decisions. Please email fundraiser@humanityfirstusa.org to request more information.
Humanity First USA tracks program outcomes and shares impact through reports, stories from the field, program updates, and other communications. These resources help donors and advisors understand how charitable funds are translated into meaningful assistance for vulnerable communities and how support contributes to lasting impact.
Humanity First USA regularly works alongside donors, foundations, corporate partners, and charitable institutions to address humanitarian needs at local, national, and global levels. Collaborative funding can help scale proven programs, expand emergency response capacity, and increase support for underserved communities.
