Make an impact with your donor-advised fund

Join us for DAF Day on Oct. 10!

More Americans than ever are leveraging donor-advised funds (DAFs), tax-advantaged charitable giving accounts, as a convenient way to help manage their charitable giving.

And on Oct. 10, we’d like you to join us and millions across the country for DAF Day — a single day of unprecedented generosity and a new kind of giving day that redefines how donor-advised funds are used and who uses them. Anyone can start a DAF gift, and it’s becoming easier than ever to support your favorite causes (like ours!).

By following our directions below, you can easily set up a DAF with EDF and support our work fighting climate change and advancing innovative, science-based solutions to the world’s most urgent environmental threats.

How to make your one-time or recurring DAF gift:

Option 1: Recommend a grant online using the DAF portal

Option 2: Contact your fund manager

Reach out to your DAF manager to recommend a grant of any amount to EDF.

Your DAF provider will ask for the following information:

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

Federal tax ID number
11-6107128

Please provide your name and address on the distribution so we can thank you for your generosity and send you updates on the progress you will make possible.

Create your DAF legacy

You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Environmental Defense Fund as a partial or full beneficiary of your donor-advised fund. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
