And as the end of the year approaches, many donors are looking for meaningful, tax-smart ways to put their charitable dollars to work.A donor-advised fund, or DAF, can be one of the easiest and most strategic ways to support prostate cancer patients and families, especially during year-end giving season.DAF Day is October 8, 2026, and it is the perfect moment to review your charitable giving plans, recommend grants from your DAF, and make sure your generosity is creating impact before the year comes to a close.This DAF Day, we invite you to support ZERO Prostate Cancer through a donor-advised fund and help provide critical resources, education, and advocacy to everyone affected by prostate cancer.What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?A donor-advised fund is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account. You contribute cash, stock, or other eligible assets to a sponsoring charitable organization, receive a potential tax deduction at the time of contribution, and then recommend grants to nonprofits over time.DAFs are often compared to retirement or health savings accounts because they allow you to set aside funds for a specific purpose — in this case, charitable giving. Once you contribute to your DAF, those assets are dedicated to philanthropy. They can often be invested and grow tax-free until you recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations like ZERO Prostate Cancer.In simple terms, a DAF allows you to:Contribute charitable assets when it makes sense for your financial situationReceive a potential upfront tax deductionInvest charitable funds tax-freeRecommend grants to nonprofits over timeOrganize your giving in one convenient accountFor donors thinking about year-end tax planning, this structure can be especially helpful.Why DAF Giving Can Be Tax-Smart at Year-EndAs December approaches, many donors begin reviewing their income, investments, charitable goals, and potential tax deductions. A DAF can help make that planning easier.When you contribute to a donor-advised fund, you may be eligible for an immediate charitable tax deduction in the year the contribution is made. That means you can make a contribution before year-end, potentially receive the tax benefit for that tax year, and then recommend grants to nonprofits like ZERO either right away or over time.The tax benefit generally depends on several factors, including:The amount you contributeWhether you itemize deductions on your tax returnThe type of assets you contributeWhether those assets have appreciated in valueOne of the most powerful uses of a DAF is donating appreciated assets, such as publicly traded stock. By contributing appreciated assets directly to a DAF, donors may be able to avoid capital gains tax while also qualifying for a charitable deduction. This can allow more of the asset’s value to go toward charitable impact rather than taxes.Because every donor’s financial situation is different, please consult your tax, legal, or financial advisor to determine whether a DAF contribution or grant is right for you. Why give to ZERO Prostate Cancer?If you already have a donor-advised fund, the dollars in your account have already been set aside for charitable giving.
