Put Your Donor-Advised Fund to Work for Good
Your donor-advised fund (DAF) can bring real help and lasting hope to neighbors facing homelessness and poverty in the DMV.
Every grant you recommend moves someone closer to safety, dignity, and opportunity.
What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund is an easy, tax-efficient way to give to causes you care about.
- You make a donation to a charitable account (your DAF)
- You receive an immediate tax deduction
- You recommend grants over time to qualified nonprofits like Central Union Mission
- You stay involved in the giving process—and may involve family or colleagues in decisions
Many donor-advised funds also let you donate appreciated securities or other assets, giving you even more flexibility and potential tax savings.
Why Support Central Union Mission with Your DAF?
For over 140 years, Central Union Mission has been serving the Washington, DC region with practical compassion:
Providing over 60,000 nights of safe shelter each year
Offering Christ-centered recovery and job training
Distributing food and clothing to more than 4,000 people monthly
Operating a summer camp for children facing economic hardship
Your gift through a donor-advised fund helps make all this possible.
