Make Your Gift Go Further with Matching Gifts!
Matching gift programs are an incredible way to amplify your impact when supporting Darkness RISING. Many companies offer to match their employees’ donations, often at a 1:1 ratio or higher—sometimes even up to 4:1! This means your $50 donation could turn into $100, $150, or more at no extra cost to you. Matching gifts effectively double (or more!) your generosity, allowing us to achieve even more for our mission. With corporations donating over $21 billion to nonprofits annually, don’t miss the opportunity to make your gift count even more. Check with your employer today to see if they offer a matching gift program, and together, we can make an even greater difference in the mental health of Black communities!
Maximize Your Impact with Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an easy, flexible, and tax-advantaged way to support the causes you care about most, like Darkness RISING Project. Think of it as a charitable investment account dedicated solely to your philanthropy. When you contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to a DAF, you’re eligible for an immediate tax deduction. These funds can then grow tax-free, allowing you to make a greater impact when you recommend grants to IRS-qualified charities like ours, now or in the future.
DAFs offer an incredible level of control and flexibility. You decide when and how to support your favorite organizations, whether through immediate grants or a giving strategy that spans years. You can even name family members or friends as advisors, creating a legacy of giving that continues beyond your lifetime. Plus, with the option to give anonymously, you can maintain privacy while making a difference.
By setting up a DAF, you not only streamline your charitable giving but also make a lasting impact. Your investment in a DAF allows you to amplify your generosity and sustain nonprofits like Darkness RISING Project that rely on your support to empower communities. Contact your financial advisor to start your DAF and help us continue our mission today.
