How Your Donor Advised Fund Can Support Wild Horses
Looking for ways to ensure that your charitable contributions go as far as they can for wild horses? Look no further than your Donor Advised Fund!
Hi! I’m Janet, and I am proud to support American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) in its heroic efforts to protect our nation’s wild horses and burros. These animals face existential threats from the Bureau of Land Management, the very government agency charged with their management. The situation is dire, but AWHC works tirelessly every day to protect our wild horses and burros through effective public policy, advocacy, investigations, on-the-range programs, and direct action to save captured animals from slaughter. But they need our financial help to continue their lifesaving work.
In this fight, every dollar counts. If you have a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), you can be extra-effective by participating in the #HalfMyDAF initiative: https://www.halfmydaf.com/
If you commit to spending down half of the funds in your Donor Advised Fund by September 30th, 2022, you can nominate your grants to be eligible for matching funds from their pool of over $2 million, making your grant to AWHC go even further: https://www.halfmydaf.com/for-donors
The #HalfMyDAF initiative was started to encourage those with Donor Advised Funds to get their charitable dollars out into the community. This year, they will award matching grants on June 24 and September 30, 2022. All grants made by end-of-day June 24th will be eligible for the first round of matching grants, which will be selected at random. They will award $1 million in dollar-for-dollar matches up to $10,000 with two $50,000 matches, one on June 24th and the other on September 30.
I’ve been participating in the #HalfMyDAF initiative for three years now, and I am delighted to help put more charitable dollars to work for charities like AWHC that I care deeply about. The more donors who nominate a specific charity, the better its chances of being awarded matching funds through #HalfMyDAF. If you have a DAF, participate and nominate AWHC to help our imperiled wild horses and burros.
Participating in #HalfMyDAF is rewarding and painless; you’ve already said goodbye to the funds in your Donor Advised Fund, so why not make sure they’re going to work now to make the world a better place? Please consider participating in this important initiative to do so much good for our wild horses and burros, who need all the help they can get!
If you are interested in participating in this program, please reach out to AWHC for more information. You can also contact the team at #HalfMyDAF for additional details. It's a great program.
