Donor Advised Funds

Join the #HalfMyDAF Movement

We have the opportunity for donations to have an even bigger impact through the #HalfMyDAF movement. Since 2020, the #HalfMyDAF community has awarded over $70 million in grants.

Over $250 billion sits in Donor Advised Funds across the country. If you are a DAF holder and commit to spending down half of the money that was in your DAF on January 1st by September 26, 2025, all the grants you make to us and other nonprofits will be eligible for a match from #HalfMyDAF.

#HalfMyDAF will make dollar-for-dollar matches of up to $5,000 on June 27, 2025, and again on September 26, 2025, out of a pool of $2.25M in unrestricted funding—and four lucky nonprofits will get matches of up to $25K.

The more donors who commit to spending down at least half of their DAF and give to us, the more likely we are to receive a match.
