Why Give Through a DAF?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about—like protecting the environment, fighting climate change, and advocating for key legislation. With a DAF, charitably inclined individuals, families, and businesses make an irrevocable gift to a public charity, like the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, and donors may take an immediate tax deduction.
When you recommend a grant to the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, you help us:
Safeguard our coast and oceans, and protect public lands and vital habitat through advocacy and policy leadership
Ensure the protection of public access and biodiversity
Inspire and promote environmental education and community stewardship
And so much more: View how DAF gifts contribute to our mission to protect the coast.
How to Recommend a GIFT

Donors can recommend annual or recurring grants to 501(c)(3) public charities, like EAC. DAFs allow donors to approach their charitable giving thoughtfully by involving other family members or colleagues in their philanthropic decisions. Most DAFs accept donations of long-term appreciated securities and other assets, and donors can advise how the funds are invested. This could create an opportunity for tax-free growth and could result in more direct funding and support for EAC. Contact your tax advisor or fund for more info.
