Donor-Advised Fund Day

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Day is a giving day that reframes how donor-advised funds are used and who uses them. A collaborative group of leading nonprofits, fundraising platforms, and DAF providers are coming together to activate their collective audience of millions of donors for a single day of generosity with DAFs on October 9, 2025. 

What is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?
A DAF is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account. DAFs are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare expenses. Any person, couple, family–or even company–can open a DAF account at more than 1,000 providers around the country. DAFs have surged in popularity in recent years because they are incredibly effective at increasing giving capacity and streamlining philanthropy.
