As Giving Tuesday approaches, we’re reminded of the incredible generosity that fuels our mission all year long. This special day isn’t just about making a donation — it’s about coming together as a community to support work that truly makes a difference.

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), Giving Tuesday is a wonderful opportunity to use it in a way that creates immediate and lasting impact. Many donors appreciate that DAFs offer flexibility, tax advantages, and the ability to plan giving intentionally. But what matters most is how those gifts transform lives.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters

Giving Tuesday has become a worldwide movement built on kindness, compassion, and collective generosity. It reminds us that even a single act of giving can spark change and support the causes that mean the most to us.

For organizations like ours, these gifts help us:

  • Serve more people
  • Expand essential programs
  • Respond quickly to urgent needs
  • Continue building a strong future for our community

Every contribution strengthens the foundation of our mission.

How Donor-Advised Funds Make Giving Easy

If you’re considering a gift this year, recommending a grant from your DAF can be one of the simplest ways to give. Here’s why many of our supporters choose this option:

  • Convenience: You can recommend a grant online through your DAF provider in just a few clicks.
  • Impact: Your grant helps support programs immediately when funding is needed most.
  • Flexibility: You can give anonymously or with recognition—whatever feels right to you.
  • Purposeful Giving: DAFs allow you to align your charitable intentions with moments like Giving Tuesday, creating a meaningful rhythm of generosity.
