If you already have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you created it to support the causes you care about. Yet across the country, $230 billion is currently set aside in DAFs—and 37% of those funds go unused each year. That means billions of charitable dollars sit in accounts instead of making the impact they were intended for.
At the San Francisco SPCA, every dollar put into action helps provide lifesaving veterinary care, adoptions, and critical support for animals across San Francisco, the Central Valley, and throughout California.
October 9 is DAF Day
On October 9, nonprofits nationwide are rallying around DAF Day, a movement to encourage donors to unlock the funds they’ve already set aside for charitable giving. By recommending a grant from your DAF to the SF SPCA, you can put your funds to work helping animals today.
You don’t need to wait until DAF Day to act. You can designate your DAF to the SF SPCA right now and know that your generosity is saving lives immediately.
Why your DAF gift matters
When you release funds from your DAF to the SF SPCA, you are:
- Saving lives. Every grant provides shelter, medical care, and adoption services for animals who need them most.
- Expanding access to care. Your support ensures that families, no matter their income or location, can access veterinary care.
- Shaping the future of animal welfare. Your gift helps us drive systemic change, building a world where no animal is left behind.
Your DAF was created to make a difference. Now is the perfect time to put those dollars to work to create a brighter future for animals.
