Give to Hawassa Hope Through Your Donor Advised Fund

 

Maximize your charitable impact while supporting vulnerable children and families in Ethiopia

What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor Advised Fund is like your personal charitable savings account. You contribute cash, securities, or other assets to the fund, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to qualified nonprofits like Hawassa Hope over time.

Why Use Your DAF for Hawassa Hope?

Immediate Tax Benefits: Receive your tax deduction when you contribute to your DAF, even if you distribute the funds to Hawassa Hope later.

Strategic Giving: Plan your charitable giving over multiple years while supporting our long-term programs like the Tesfa Primary School building project and our Community Sponsorship Program that currently supports 370 children.

Simplified Record-Keeping: Your DAF provider handles all the paperwork and provides consolidated tax documentation.

Family Involvement: Many DAF providers allow family members to recommend grants, making it easy to involve your children or grandchildren in supporting Ethiopian communities.
