Thursday October 9th is DAF Day, a national day of giving when supporters, like you, can give back using their Donor-Advised Funds!
Giving via DAFs is the fastest-growing way to fuel nonprofits like NSRWA. If you already have a DAF, you’re sitting on philanthropic dollars just waiting to make an impact. NSRWA is pleased to join with thousands of other nonprofits offering a convenient way to initiate gifts this DAF Day!
Every single gift, big or small, helps us protect the health of our local waters, and your contribution, joined with others on DAF day, will create a ripple effect that lasts for years.
The tool linked above integrates with your DAF custodian, so you can easily recommend a grant in minutes while also helping us keep accurate records of your gift.
Don’t Have a DAF Yet?
The first step to setting up a DAF is to contact a sponsor organization, such as Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard or Schwab. After opening an account with a sponsor organization, you can fund the account using cash, stocks or other assets. You receive an immediate tax deduction the year you contribute the assets! The assets will be professionally managed and can grow tax free while you decide where you wish to donate. To make a gift to your favored nonprofit (like NSRWA!) you would submit a recommendation for a grant to your sponsor organization, who then distributes the funds.
Please be sure to access information on DAFs provided by your sponsoring organization, and consult with your investment advisor.
