DAF Day is on October 9! If you have a DAF, join a nationwide movement of donors putting their charitable investment dollars to work for our climate, health and nature.

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are the fastest-growing way Americans give to support the causes they care about. With a DAF, you open an account through your financial institution or community foundation, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants to organizations like EDF.

Ready to give through your DAF?

Recommending a grant is simple, tax-smart and powerful. Make your DAF gift to EDF by October 9 to help defend our climate and health.

Option 1: Use the online DAF portal

Option 2: Contact your fund manager

Your DAF provider will need:

Mailing address
Environmental Defense Fund
Attn: Gift Processing
257 Park Avenue South
New York, NY 10010

Federal tax ID number
11-6107128

Please include your name and address so we can thank you and share updates on the progress you make possible.

Create your DAF legacy

You can also make EDF part of your legacy by naming us as a partial or full beneficiary of your donor-advised fund. Ask your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
