Support the animals at Dakin Humane Society through your donor-advised fund (DAF) and enjoy the flexibility and tax advantages these funds provide—all while improving the lives of animals in need and the people who care for them.

What is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, tax-efficient way to give to causes you care about. It works like a charitable investment account: you contribute to your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to organizations such as Dakin Humane Society over time.

How Does a DAF Work?

If your fund uses DAF Direct:
Use the DAF Direct link to recommend a grant to Dakin Humane Society. Select Dakin as the recipient, enter your gift amount, and follow the prompts to complete your recommendation.

If your fund does not use DAF Direct:
Ask your financial advisor or fund administrator to designate a gift to Dakin Humane Society.
