Hey! Alison here.

I know you care deeply about helping farmed animals. So I wanted to tell you about a holiday (a pretty niche one, unless you’re a finance nerd like me. 😉) It’s DAF Day, a day for celebrating Donor-Advised Funds!

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is basically an investment account for charitable giving. Here’s what one of our donors says about them:

I’m interested in pretty much everything (economics, stargazing, sci-fi, jigsaw puzzles, visiting thrift stores to buy more jigsaw puzzles... 🧩). And that includes finding ways to help my dollars go as far as possible to drive positive change in the world.

Like you, I care about helping animals suffering on factory farms. DAFs are such a powerful tool for doing that. I opened one for three reasons:

- Money doesn’t just sit there in my DAF—it gets invested and actually grows, tax-free, until I’m ready to donate it. Super cool.
- My DAF gives me great tax benefits. My income changes each year, and with my DAF, I can donate during the most tax-advantageous years while smoothly supporting charitable causes annually.
- DAFs make it easy for me to donate appreciated assets, which is more tax-efficient than selling the assets myself, paying capital gains taxes, and donating cash."

DAFs are a win-win. But too often, money sits in DAFs instead of actually benefiting charitable causes. One report estimated that there was $229 billion just sitting in DAFs in 2022! Think about all the good those funds could be doing out in the world.

If you have a DAF, would you consider directing those funds to help farmed animals today?

Thank you so much for supporting our mission. We couldn’t do this work without you.

With gratitude,

P.S. Today (on DAF Day!) I encourage you to learn more about DAFs. And if you already have one, will you consider recommending a grant to help animals in factory farms? 🐔🐮🐷
