Your DAF is already set aside for good.

Today, put it to work.

When you opened your donor-advised fund, you made a promise to give. On DAF Day, that money can help contain the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo. Since the first screening station opened in June, Virunga’s teams have screened more than 1.5 million travellers on the main routes out of the outbreak’s epicentre, referring suspected cases straight to health authorities.
