Join The DAFday Movement With Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley ! 2024 brings about the first ever DAFday! What is #DAFday you ask? A new kind of giving day focused on education around donor advised funds (DAF) and how donor advised funds can maximize support for the local nonprofit organizations you care about! Did you know that giving through a DAF can nearly double your annual support to the causes you care most about? So, what is a DAF and how can you utilize this powerful tool to help our local neighbors in need with life-changing home repairs? A donor advised fund (DAF) 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. DAFs aren’t just useful for donors, they’re immensely valuable for nonprofits! New research shows that when an existing supporter starts giving from their DAF for the first time, their annual donations to the same organization can increase by up to 96%! So, interested in donating to RTSV or your other favorite Nonprofit organization making a significant impact in your community? Check out our Ways To Support Page linked below and visit the DAF Direct option for a seamless experience!

We never know when we might need someone's help, so let's contribute while we can. I firmly believe that a life well-lived is one dedicated to caring for others.

Waiting until the end of the year to discuss charitable gifts with clients is like... Waiting until your kids are seniors in high school before you start to think about how you'll fund their college education. Building transformational gifts takes time. Takes vision. Takes planning. It takes a team to help a donor visualize the impact they can make and construct the gift in a way that best accomplishes the needs of the organization as well as their own. I'm working to bridge the gap between development professionals and financial advisors to create a donor/client experience that is smooth and impactful for everyone. Step 1 in the process: Be proactive with clients about discussing their charitable giving. #philanthrovising
