Put your funds to work. Today.

Dear Friends,

We started #HalfMyDAF in May 2020 to inspire more giving. Since then, the #HalfMyDAF community has moved more than $97 million from donor-advised funds to thousands of nonprofits across the country. 

This year, #HalfMyDAF is matching more than $2 million in DAF grants, awarded via two drawings. 

• Check back soon for our spring and fall deadlines. 

• If you’re a DAF holder and ready to join our pledge, here’s how to submit grants that could receive matches.  

• If you run a nonprofit, let your donors know how their giving can go further. Here are some suggestions. 

In 2025 our community distributed an astonishing $26M in grants and #HalfMyDAF matches, and we’re on track to break that record in 2026.

Our partner, Amalgamated Foundation is our #HalfMyDAF DAF sponsor, issuing the matching grants and promoting #HalfMyDAF to their account holders. Amalgamated is the first DAF provider to enact a 10% payout pledge. We’ve moved our personal DAF to Amalgamated and encourage you to consider doing the same.

Thank you for your generosity. There is currently more than $326 billion housed in DAFs across the country. We hope you are inspired to put your DAF to work today
