A donor advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAF’s are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360, or BNY Mellon, it is now easier than ever now to make a gift to ForestWatch using the DAF Direct Form below. 

How to Use the DAF Direct Form:

  • Select the sponsoring organization from the “Donate now from” field.
  • Enter the amount (in dollars) you would like to recommend in the “Amount” field.
  • Click on the “NEXT” button to proceed to the sponsoring organization’s website to complete your donor advised fund transaction. Please note, you will be directed to an external website to complete your transaction.

If you have any questions about making a DAF gift or want to make a donation through a sponsoring organization not represented on the list, please contact ForestWatch’s Director of Development, Jessica Dias:

What People Say

I’ve been both a donor and volunteer with Los Padres ForestWatch for about 19 years. What I admire about this organization is their devotion to preventing encroachments by economic interests that can damage the Los Padres National Forest—wherever these threats emerge. Forest Watch is alert to any potential threat to Los Padres.
