Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is one of the most convenient and tax-efficient ways to support animals at PAWS. With just a few clicks, you can transform your generosity into lifesaving care for animals in need.
Whether you already have a DAF or are just learning about them, you can make a powerful difference today.
Why Give Through Your DAF?
- Impact today: Your DAF gift helps provide safe shelter, medical treatment, and second chances for animals like Tutu, a tiny kitten who came to PAWS in need of extra care before adoption.
- Flexibility: Recommend grants from this valuable giving tool whenever you’re ready and choose the programs you care about most.
- Tax benefits: Contribute to your DAF and receive an immediate charitable deduction, then support animals at PAWS over time.
- Legacy giving: You can even designate PAWS as a beneficiary of your DAF to continue your legacy of compassion for years to come.
