How to Support Assist ME Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

As the giving season ramps up, nonprofits like Assist ME are working tirelessly to restore mobility and independence for those who need it most. One of the most powerful — yet often overlooked — ways to make a lasting impact is through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).

A DAF is a charitable investment account managed by a public charity. It allows you to contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits — like Assist ME — whenever you’re ready.
