Sample Letter to a Donor

Dear Donor,

We have the opportunity for donations to have an even bigger impact through the #HalfMyDAF movement. Since 2020, the #HalfMyDAF community has awarded over $70 million in grants.

Over $250 billion sits in Donor Advised Funds across the country. The goal of #HalfMyDAF is to move that money to nonprofits like ours by randomly giving away unrestricted matching grants. If you are a DAF holder and commit to spending down half of the money that was in your DAF on January 1st by September 26, 2025, all the grants you make to us and other nonprofits will be eligible for a match from #HalfMyDAF.

#HalfMyDAF will make dollar-for-dollar matches of up to $5,000 on June 27, 2025 and again on September 26, 2025, out of a pool of $2.25M in unrestricted funding—and four lucky nonprofits will get matches up to $25K.

The more donors who commit to spending down at least half of their DAF and give to us, the more likely we are to receive a match.

Thank you for your support and please spread the word.
