Support the Museum With Your DAF Today
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a philanthropic investment account created to support the causes you care about. You can contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF and be eligible to receive an immediate tax deduction in the year you give. Unlike direct donations, DAF contributions may grow tax-free over time, allowing you to increase your impact. You are then able to recommend grants from your fund to public charities at your own pace – even if it’s in a different tax year than when you contributed. Finally, you can extend your impact beyond your lifetime by naming successors or charitable beneficiaries using a DAF.

You can give to the Museum from your DAF directly on our website in just 3 clicks. Use the DAF pay button below. This pay button is the fastest and easiest way to give from hundreds of DAF providers.

For More Information
If you have any questions, please email donations@ushmm.org.
Please note that the IRS regulations govern all contributions made through donor-advised funds. These regulations determine the coverage of DAF contributions. For example, DAF contributions may not be used to pay for items that provide a tangible benefit to the donor, such as gala tickets or an event table. These prohibitions apply regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received. All beneficial items must be funded personally outside your donor-advised fund. For further guidance, please consult with your fund administrator or a tax professional, as the Museum cannot provide any DAF-related guidance.
Your financial contribution will help us continue to preserve the history of the Holocaust and share its important lessons.
