Celebrate DAF Day by Restoring Islands!
Today, October 9, 2025, is National Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Day! Whether you’re a seasoned donor or just learning about DAFs, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact with a gift that’s both smart and transformative.
Why Island Conservation?
Island Conservation focuses on restoring islands for nature and people worldwide. We are a United States-based 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a globally distributed team. Together, we collaborate with local communities, government management agencies, and conservation organizations to holistically restore islands by bringing back biodiversity, the foundation of all healthy ecosystems. From removing invasive species in the Marshall Islands to rewilding the Galápagos, every dollar fuels science-driven, community-led restoration efforts across the globe!

Why Give Through a DAF?
- Combine tax-savvy giving with high-impact philanthropy–contributions are tax-deductible the moment they’re made, while grants may be distributed later, in different tax years. Donating appreciated assets (like stocks or real estate) through a DAF can eliminate capital gains taxes.
- Tax-free growth: Assets in a DAF can be invested and grow tax-free, increasing your charitable capacity over time.
- One-stop recordkeeping: Say goodbye to tracking dozens of donation receipts—DAFs consolidate everything into one.
- DAFs are a great way to involve children or partners in giving decisions, building a culture of generosity.
- DAFs allow you to create a legacy of giving that continues beyond your lifetime, supporting causes you care about for years to come. You can help contribute to Island Conservation’s long-term sustainability by giving to our Endowment Legacy Fund!
