Valentine’s Day is a time to express love, appreciation, and generosity—not just to family and friends, but also to the causes that matter most to you. This year, why not extend your love beyond chocolates and roses by making a meaningful impact through a UI Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

The UI DAF is a simple, tax-efficient way to give to charities you care about. It allows you to set aside funds for charitable giving, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nonprofits over time. Just like love, generosity grows when nurtured, and a UI DAF helps you create a lasting legacy of giving.

Why the UI Donor-Advised Fund is the Perfect Valentine’s Gift

💝 A Gift That Lasts – While flowers wilt and chocolates disappear, a donation from your UI DAF provides long-term support to your favorite charities.

💝 Share the Love – You can involve loved ones by making charitable giving a family tradition, teaching children the importance of generosity.

💝 A Thoughtful Gesture – Instead of traditional gifts, consider recommending a grant in honor of someone special, letting them know their values and passions inspire your giving.

💝 Give with Ease – If you have a UI DAF, recommending a grant is quick and simple, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—making a difference.
