Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are your ticket to making a philanthropic impact with ease, especially when it comes to supporting your furry friends at Nevada Humane Society. There are two way to help Nevada Humane Society through DAF giving:

  1. Give Now, Feel Great: Recommend a grant to NHS through your DAF for instant tax perks and a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you're helping animals in need.
  2. Plan for Paw-some Impact: Set up a succession plan to ensure NHS receives part or all of your DAF's value down the road, leaving a legacy of love for your animal friends.

To choose the purr-fect option for your giving goals, just reach out to your Donor-Advised Fund administrator. They'll help you recommend a grant to NHS or chat about your succession plan.

And, if you decide to include us in your plans, drop us a line!
