A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a powerful, flexible, and tax-efficient way to ensure the animals in our care receive the second chances they deserve. By recommending a grant to The Animal Foundation, you provide immediate support for shelter, medical care, and adoption services for thousands of lost and abandoned animals in our community.
Why Give via a DAF?
Giving through a DAF allows you to combine your passion for animal welfare with smart financial planning. Benefits include:
- Simplicity: Easily manage your charitable giving through a single account.
- Tax Efficiency: Receive an immediate tax deduction when you contribute to your DAF, and then recommend grants to us at your convenience.
- Impact: 100% of your grant goes toward life-saving programs, as DAF grants do not have the processing fees often associated with credit card donations.

Frequently Asked Questions
| That is up to you! You can include your name and contact information so that we can properly thank you or you can choose to leave your gift anonymous. Most DAF providers will make the gift anonymous by default unless you choose to include your information. |
| Because you received your tax deduction when you funded your DAF, you will receive your official receipt from your DAF sponsor, not The Animal Foundation. |
You can recommend your gift for “General Operations” to go towards the greatest need or the “CARE Fund” for emergency medical care for our shelter pets.
Any other designations will need to be discussed with a member of our team prior to the gift to ensure that we can fulfill your wishes.
| IRS regulations generally prohibit using DAF funds for gifts that provide a personal benefit (like event tickets or auction items). |
