Join Nevus Outreach for DAF Day: Amplify Your Impact on October 10!
Nevus Outreach is thrilled to announce our participation in the first-ever Donor Advised Funds (DAF) Day on October 10, 2024! We’re joining forces with Chariot, fundraising platforms, and other leading nonprofits to highlight the power of DAFs as a vital philanthropic tool. By tapping into your DAF account, you can make a life-changing impact on individuals living with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) and related conditions.
What Are DAFs?
A DAF works like a charitable savings account, allowing donors to set aside funds for future contributions while receiving immediate tax benefits. The beauty of DAFs lies in their flexibility and their potential to make a powerful difference. In fact, DAFs distributed an astounding $52 billion to nonprofits in 2022, with DAF donors giving 19 times more than the average donor.
Why Give to Nevus Outreach on DAF Day?
Your support through a donor-advised fund can transform the future for individuals affected by CMN. Every dollar helps us meet our mission of driving awareness, fostering a supportive community, and advancing research for people affected by congenital melanocytic nevi and related conditions.
Here’s how your DAF can make an impact:
A gift of $500 could support educational materials that help doctors and patients make informed treatment decisions.
A donation of $1,000 helps bring our Rally for Rare Event Series to life for 2025, bringing people together in their local communities to celebrate RARE!
A donation of $2,500 could sponsor a family's attendance at our 2026 Nevus Outreach Conference and Reunion, where they receive medical guidance, emotional support, and community connection.
With $5,000, you could help fund NOOR to better understand the causes and treatments of CMN and its complications.
Get Involved
In anticipation of DAF Day, we encourage donors to check if they have an existing DAF and use it to support Nevus Outreach. Unlock the potential of your DAF to help children like Weston, whose story of resilience and hope continues to inspire our community.
Together, We Can Do More
DAF Day is more than just a new giving day; it’s an opportunity to reframe how donor-advised funds can create change. Experts estimate there is over $230 billion sitting in DAF accounts, waiting to be put to good use. By contributing just a small portion of this to Nevus Outreach, we can make an immense difference in the lives of those affected by CMN.
Let’s make October 10 a day of unprecedented generosity and help fuel a future where CMN patients and their families feel supported and empowered!
