National DAF Day is October 8, and it’s an opportunity for nonprofits to put donor advised funds on their radar. Donor advised funds (DAFs) offer donors a simple and flexible way to support the causes they care about, and National DAF Day is a chance to raise awareness how this giving vehicle can benefit both donors and the organizations they support.
Consider using the day to:
• Educate your donors about what DAFs are and how they work
• Encourage existing DAF holders that they can recommend a grant to your organization
• Share stories that connect DAF giving to the impact your organization makes
Whether it is a simple social media post or a short email to your audience, October 8 can be a meaningful touchpoint with your supporters and a chance to show them another way they can give using tools they may already have.
