Every October, nonprofits and donors celebrate DAF Day — a moment to recognize the impact of Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) in fueling philanthropy. At Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, we see this day as an opportunity to connect generosity with our purpose: to make the lives of veterans and their families better.  

The role of Donor Advised Funds in charitable giving has expanded dramatically. Between 2007 and 2021, DAF grantmaking increased by 630%. This explosive growth shows that more donors are discovering how effective and flexible DAFs can be as a tool for impact. 

For Dixon Center, your support can ensure veterans and their families have the resources they need to thrive in the communities where they live via: 

• Work With Purpose: creating pathways to careers that allow veterans to set and meet their future goals.  

• Heal With Honor: partnering and working with local and national organizations to integrate veterans and their families.  

• Live With Hope: collaborating with organizations to equip them with the tools to provide affordable housing solutions for veterans.  

How you can take action this DAF Day: 

1. Recommend a Grant: Direct your Donor Advised Fund to support Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services (link).
