What Is A DAF?

A Simple Way to Give. A Powerful Way to Change What’s Possible.

A DAF, or donor advised fund, is a flexible way to set aside funds for charitable giving. You may receive applicable tax benefits when you contribute, then recommend grants to organizations you care about over time.

Why Give Through a DAF?

Make More of Your Charitable Giving

A donor advised fund gives you a practical way to organize your charitable giving today while creating more flexibility for how you support the causes that matter to you over time.

Flexibility

You choose when, where, and how much to give, making it an easy and powerful way to maximize your impact.

Impact

Ensure children with serious illnesses experience camp at no cost to their families.

Simplicity

Recommend a grant with just a few clicks through your DAF provider.

Growth

A DAF is often compared to a 401(k) for retirement, or an HSA for healthcare: you’re investing in your philanthropy and expanding your giving capacity.

Legacy

Name family members or charities to continue your giving.

DAF DAY | OCTOBER 8

Your DAF.

Their chance to discover they are more than their diagnosis.

At our medically-supported camps, children living with serious illnesses get to make choices, try new things, build friendships and succeed on their own terms.

Those experiences can change how they see themselves, and their life beyond the limitations of their diagnosis.

And because SeriousFun camp experiences are always free of charge, families can focus on what matters most: watching their child discover just how much they can do.

On October 8, your DAF can help make more of these experiences possible.

To recommend a grant to SeriousFun, give your DAF provider the following information:

What Our DAF Givers Say

I can’t imagine what it’s like for kids to go through serious illnesses. Donating to the children’s hospital was my way of showing support. 

James P., Monthly Donor

Every child deserves a safe, loving home. Supporting this charity, which helps kids in foster care, has been one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.
