This contribution may offer you an upfront tax benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The funds can then be invested for potential growth, and at any time, you can recommend grants from the account to nonprofits like Water For People.<\/p>\n<p><em>We encourage you to consult your own tax advisor to understand how a DAF contribution would apply to your situation.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How does a DAF work?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>You deposit cash or other assets into your DAF account and immediately receive a one-time charitable deduction. Money remains in your DAF until you decide to distribute it to an organization, such as Water For People.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re ready to give to the organization of your choice, you can let your DAF manager know, and they will send the gift and handle your tax receipt.\u00a0<strong>Or, you can now donate directly on this webpage in 15 seconds with 3 clicks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><chariot-button><\/chariot-button><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">Why should I give on your website using DAFpay?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Giving through DAFpay is<strong> fast, secure, and simple. <\/strong>It lets us track your gift accurately, avoid the delays and lost mail that can come with paper checks, and thank you as soon as your gift arrives.<\/p>\n<p>We know that giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF) can be a hassle, often involving extra steps, logins, and redirects to your fund provider&#8217;s site. That&#8217;s why Water For People has partnered with Chariot to offer DAFpay, letting you recommend a grant directly from our website.<\/p>\n<p>DAFpay uses end-to-end encryption and already connects with more than 1,000 DAF providers, including Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, National Philanthropic Trust, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not seeing your sponsoring organization?
