John, we wanted you to hear from three supporters who discovered the power of giving through their donor-advised funds (DAF) to the IRC:
Mark's story: "My DAF will help Ukraine's people. I read several articles that ranked charities for relief work in times of war and the International Rescue Committee was consistently at the top of their lists. The follow through from the IRC staff has reassured me that I made the right choice and I continue to give."
Debra's approach: "My DAF will streamline my monthly support and allow it to be used where there is greatest need."
And Don's legacy planning: "It has always been important to me to provide help to people who are suffering. Naming the IRC as a beneficiary of my DAF was simple and will ensure this work continues for generations to come."
Consider the flexibility our supporters discovered:
- Crisis response: Like Mark, respond to urgent needs with confidence in impact
- Streamlined giving: Like Debra, simplify monthly support while maximizing flexibility
- Legacy planning: Like Don, ensure your values continue for generations
With DAF Day approaching on October 9, now is the perfect time to explore how your donor-advised fund can create both immediate and lasting impact—especially with 5X matching available on all DAF gifts through that day.
These supporters discovered what many strategic donors are learning: DAFs offer unmatched flexibility for philanthropic impact. Whether you're exploring your first DAF grant, considering recurring monthly support or planning for legacy giving, DAF Day on October 9 offers 5X matching to maximize your initial experience with strategic giving.
