A Donor Advised Fund 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.

On DAF Day, generous donors across the country use their Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) to create lasting impact for the causes they love. This year, we’re excited to join the celebration — and we need your help to make Out for Education one of the most supported organizations on DAF Day!

Register as a DAF Day donor at DAFDay.com and select Out for Education as your cause. Together, we can fund brighter futures for LGBTQ+ students.
