Donor-Advised Funds

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) have grown in popularity in recent years as a way set aside charitable funds in advance. When you contribute to a DAF, you can secure an immediate tax deduction while you consider when and where to make your donations. Several community foundations and financial institutions offer the opportunity to create a DAF. A DAF gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to Conservation International. You can recommend a one-time grant or recurring grants which help you to make an immediate impact. You can also use this fund as a tool to plan future charitable gifts. 

We love to hear from you—notifying us of an incoming gift from your donor-advised fund helps us process and attribute it more quickly. If you’re planning to make a gift or your gift has a special designation, please get in touch to let us know. Contact Mallory Henig at 703-341-2409 or giving@conservation.org.

Consider a gift for later

You can also have a lasting impact by naming Conservation International as a beneficiary of your donor-advised fund. It’s a great way to ensure that whatever money remains at the end of your life goes to a cause you care about.
