Make a gift through your donor-advised fund

After devastating flooding in Pakistan in 2022, Mercy Corps supported families with cash assistance. Hanifa (her son’s pictured here) bought a pregnant goat which provided milk for her family and additional income through the sale of the baby goats.

An increasingly popular method of charitable giving, a donor-advised fund—or DAF—can be an easy and flexible way to manage your giving and help you achieve your strategic philanthropic goals.

A gift from your DAF can support our work responding to humanitarian crises in places like Ukraine, reaching earthquake survivors in Myanmar and Syria, supporting refugee entrepreneurs build financial resilience, providing digital tools to pastoralists in Kenya to help them adapt to climate change, and so much more.

You can initiate a grant recommendation from your DAF directly to Mercy Corps in three easy ways:

  1. Make a one-time gift. Your gift today will go where it is needed most.
  2. Create a recurring monthly, or quarterly gift. Initiating an automatic monthly or quarterly gift from your DAF is one of the easiest ways to support Mercy Corps all year long.
  3. Make Mercy Corps part of your lasting legacy. You can name Mercy Corps as a beneficiary of all or a portion of the funds remaining in your DAF after your lifetime.

Donating from your DAF is safe, easy, and fast. You can donate directly through your DAF administrator or use the donation form above following these instructions:

  1. Select the DAF provider and login directly to your account
  2. Check your DAF account balance and enter your desired gift amount
  3. Type in your email and address info for the receipt
  4. Select if you would like to cover the processing fee, as well as need leave a note or designation (if applicable)
  5. Hit submit and your donation request is complete!

Upon making a donation, you can elect to receive an automatically generated receipt that will be sent to the email address you provide.
