May is a great time to initiate a donor-advised fund grant to ensure your gift is received before the Foundation’s fiscal year ends on June 30. Here’s how to give through a DAF, whether you need to set one up or have been investing for years. If you don’t already have a DAF set up, contact your preferred sponsoring organization. This could be a community foundation or financial services firm. Once your application is approved, make your initial contribution! You’re now well on your way to building a meaningful future grant. If you already have a DAF established, you can easily give through our website! To get started, gather your DAF credentials and click the blue button on our giving page: davethomasfoundation.org/DAFGiving (fb)

“I slept in a lot of different rooms. Different beds. But none of them really felt like mine. And I never had much stuff, because I always had to be ready to move,” recalled Marisol. “Now, I have my own room, with walls that tell my story. But the best part is knowing I’ll always have a place to go, and a family that loves and supports me.” We invite you to view our newest public service announcements, featuring the stories of Marisol and Bridgett. Both girls were adopted from foster care as teenagers. In this campaign, they share about the place that now feels special and safe in their permanent home … their room. We are thankful to our community of supporters for making 15,000+ adoptions like Marisol's and Bridgett's a reality. Watch and listen now: davethomasfoundation.org/resources/?_type_filter=psa (fb)
