Unlocking the Power of Donor-Advised Funds: Support FYI this DAF Day

Have you heard about Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)? These charitable accounts are making it easier for people to make a big impact by donating in a smart, tax-friendly way. On October 10, 2024, we will be joining the very first DAF Day, a day dedicated to encouraging DAF holders to use their funds to support important causes like Food Yoga International (FYI). It’s a powerful opportunity to turn generosity into real, life-changing action, we’re excited about the potential that DAF Day holds—not just for our mission, but for the broader goal of addressing food insecurity through plant-based solutions.

Why DAFs Are a Game-Changer for Philanthropy

DAFs provide a structured way for donors to grow their charitable contributions over time, while enjoying the flexibility to donate when they feel most inspired. Here’s why DAFs matter:

– Tax Benefits: Donors receive immediate tax deductions when they contribute to their DAF, while retaining the flexibility to decide later where to allocate those funds.

– Maximized Impact: Studies show that DAF donors tend to contribute more generously over time, with a 96% increase in annual giving for nonprofits once donors start using their DAFs.

– Long-Term Philanthropy: DAFs offer a sustainable way to give, ensuring that the funds are used when they can make the most significant impact.

How DAF Day Can Help Us Feed More People

At FYI, every meal we deliver means a step toward combating hunger and providing plant-based nutrition to those in need. The funds we receive from generous donors fuel our ability to respond to crises and hunger worldwide. On DAF Day, we have an opportunity to increase this impact even further by unlocking the potential of DAFs.

With over $230 billion currently sitting in DAF accounts, the collective generosity on this day could be transformative. Just imagine the difference a portion of these funds could make in the lives of those struggling with hunger—every dollar donated helps us deliver more meals to vulnerable communities globally.

Join Us This DAF Day

This DAF Day, we invite you to join our mission by recommending a grant to Food Yoga International through your DAF. It’s simple to do:
