Give now, decide later! A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account: you make a gift today, take the tax deduction now, and choose later which nonprofits benefit. Your funds grow while you wait, giving you flexibility and impact. You can give anonymously, simplify your recordkeeping, and even involve your family—building a legacy of generosity that lasts for generations. Ready to start your DAF or learn how it can grow your giving? Contact Tpeters@urm.org. #DAF #GivingBack #LegacyOfGenerosity #CharitableGiving #UnionRescueMission
