Every year, DAF Day is a moment for donors to turn their donor-advised funds into action for causes they care about. At Ticket to Dream, we’re inviting our supporters to make this year’s DAF Day a meaningful one by directing DAF gifts to support foster youth across the country.
What Is a Donor-Advised Fund & Why It Matters
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic vehicle that allows donors to contribute cash, securities, or other assets to qualified nonprofits. Donors can give strategically, take advantage of tax benefits & support organizations that matter to them.
How Your DAF Can Fuel Change for Foster Youth
You can choose to recommend a grant from your DAF to Ticket to Dream. Your gift will help us:
Purchase essential items like clothing, hygiene kits & even holiday gifts
Invest in educational support
Allow foster youth to continue the activities they love or pursue new adventures
Provide safe, affirming environments & experiences for foster youth
Because many foster children enter care with very little belongings, your DAF grant allows us to fulfill immediate needs as well as the little extras that let them know their community is here for them.
How to Make a DAF Gift to Ticket to Dream
Giving from your DAF is simpler than you might think:
Contact your DAF sponsor (community foundation or financial institution)
Request a grant or recommended gift to Ticket to Dream, EIN: 90-0355853
Let us know so we can thank you & share updates on the impact of your gift
Make This DAF Day One to Remember
Did you know 69% of gifts from DAF donors are under $1,000? No matter the size of your donation, your gift will help foster kids just be kids.
Thank you for considering Ticket to Dream as a beneficiary of your DAF. If you have questions or want help navigating the process, we’d be happy to help!
