What Will Your DAF Do This DAF Day?
October 8, 2025
October 9 is DAF Day — a national celebration of giving through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)!
This year, Amazon Conservation is proud to join nonprofits nationwide in highlighting the power of DAF giving and how it can protect the Amazon, its wildlife, and the people who call it home.
Your Donor-Advised Fund can do incredible things when you put it to work for both you and the planet.
What Is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?
A Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, is a simple, flexible, and tax-advantaged way to give back. Anyone can open a DAF through one of more than 1,000 providers nationwide (such as Vanguard Charitable or Fidelity) and receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to it.
Then, when you’re ready, you can recommend grants to support the causes you care about — like safeguarding the Amazon’s forests, wildlife, and communities through Amazon Conservation.
Why DAF Day Matters
DAF giving is one of the fastest-growing ways people are fueling conservation around the world. And if you already have a DAF, you’re holding philanthropic dollars ready to make a difference right now — no additional cost to you.
By recommending a DAF grant to Amazon Conservation this DAF Day, you can:
-
Protect vital rainforest habitat from illegal deforestation and fires.
-
Support Indigenous and local communities who have stewarded these forests for generations.
-
Advance cutting-edge science and technology, like our MAAP satellite monitoring program, to defend millions of acres of forest in real time.
-
Preserve biodiversity, from jaguars and macaws to rare medicinal plants found nowhere else on Earth.
Every single DAF gift, big or small, creates a ripple effect that lasts for generations.
How You Can Take Part
Making your DAF Day gift is quick and easy. You can use our secure DAF giving tool (linked below) to connect directly with your provider, recommend a grant to Amazon Conservation, and help us keep accurate records of your generous support.
Together, We Can Protect the Amazon for the Future
2025 has been a year of both challenges and hope for the Amazon. From halting illegal deforestation to restoring critical headwaters and empowering Indigenous partners, our work is making measurable progress — but we can’t do it without you.
When you make your DAF grant recommendation today, you are joining dozens of others DAF donors to drive immediate, on-the-ground conservation across Peru, Bolivia, and beyond.
