Move Charitable Dollars Into Action.
DAF Day is the national giving day dedicated to donor-advised funds.
It brings together donors, nonprofits, and DAF providers to encourage charitable funds already set aside for giving to move into organizations and communities where those dollars can make an immediate difference.
Your gift to Mainspring helps Portland neighbors access food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and other everyday essentials with dignity and care.
DAF Day is October 8, 2026.
You can also recommend a donor-advised fund grant to
Mainspring throughout the year.
HOW DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS BEGAN
Nearly a century of charitable giving.
Donor-advised funds have been part of American philanthropy for nearly a century.
They became closely associated with community foundations, which established separately managed charitable accounts allowing donors to contribute funds and later recommend grants to charitable organizations.
Federal law formally defined donor-advised funds in 2006. Today, a DAF is generally an account owned and controlled by a sponsoring charitable organization, while the donor retains advisory privileges over grant recommendations.
