How to Multiply Your Impact This DAF Day: Support Art Education Through a Donor Advised Fund
What Is DAF Day?
Each year, donors across the country come together for DAF Day: A Day of Community Giving — a celebration of generosity through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs).
This year, DAF Day falls on October 9, 2025, and Art in Action is proud to join this nationwide movement. It’s a day to highlight how DAFs can transform charitable giving — making it easier for individuals and families to make lasting change in the causes they care about most.
What Is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to give to charities.
Here’s how it works:
You set up a DAF through a financial institution or foundation.
You contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to your DAF and receive an immediate tax deduction.
You recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits — like Art in Action — at any time in the future.
Your DAF can grow tax-free, giving you more power to support the organizations that inspire you — when it matters most.
Why Give Through Your DAF to Art in Action?
When you give through your DAF, you’re not just supporting art — you’re investing in creativity, confidence, and community.
Art in Action provides schools nationwide with art lessons that help students:
• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Build self-esteem through creative expression
• Connect art to history, culture, and the world around them
Every DAF gift helps bring art education to classrooms that might otherwise go without it — empowering teachers and students to explore their creativity together.
Your DAF donation helps us continue:
🎨 Training teachers and volunteers
📦 Delivering high-quality art curriculum and materials
🧠 Expanding access to art education for all students
