Individuals, families, affinity groups, and corporations can set up their own Donor Advised Fund (DAF), managed by Moore Philanthropy, to make immediate, meaningful impacts in communities across the U.S. and abroad. Our DAFs are for donors at all giving levels who want to give now and with regularity.
