John,

You've supported the IRC because you believe in what we do.

But have you ever thought about how you give—and whether there's a way to make your generosity go even further?

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is one of the most powerful—and most underused giving tools available. It lets you contribute cash or assets to a charitable account, take a tax deduction right away, and recommend grants to organizations like the IRC on your own timeline.

Take our quick quiz to discover your giving style—and whether a DAF could help you make an even bigger impact:

Your giving style might identify you as:

🧭 The Rapid Responder—gives when emergencies strike. A DAF means you're always ready—funds are pre-positioned and you can act within hours of a crisis.

🎯 The Strategic Changemaker—gives with a plan. A DAF lets you bundle contributions, grow funds tax-free, and direct them when and where they'll do the most good.

🛡 The Prepared Philanthropist—thinks long-term. A DAF is a built-in legacy tool—you can even name the IRC as a beneficiary.

💡 The Impact Maximizer—wants every dollar to count. A DAF can be more tax-efficient than a direct gift—meaning more of your generosity actually reaches the people who need it.

Whichever style is yours, DAF Day—October 8—is the perfect moment to explore giving through your DAF. For a limited time, your gift will be matched 5X.
