Donor Advised Funds

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are one of the fastest-growing ways to support nonprofits like Humanity First USA. If you’re unfamiliar with DAFs or want to learn how to use them to support our mission, this guide is for you.

What is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor-Advised Fund 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.

Why Give Through a DAF?

  1. Tax Benefits: Contributions to a DAF are tax-deductible in the year they are made, even if the funds are distributed to nonprofits later.
  2. Strategic Giving: Donors can recommend grants to nonprofits like Humanity First USA at any time, allowing for thoughtful and impactful giving.
  3. Simplicity: DAFs eliminate the administrative burden of managing multiple charitable donations.

Why Your DAF Support Matters

Your DAF contributions enable Humanity First USA to respond to disasters, provide healthcare, deliver clean water, and support education programs worldwide. Every grant recommendation helps us save lives and build stronger communities.
