Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are the fastest-growing charitable giving tool in the U.S. They make giving simple, flexible, and impactful.
On DAF Day, we join nonprofits nationwide in celebrating this powerful way to keep theatre and education thriving in our community.

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account.

  • You can contribute cash, stock, or other assets.

  • You receive an immediate tax deduction.

  • Your gift can grow tax-free inside the fund until you recommend a grant.

  • You support the nonprofit missions you love, like MCT’s Pay-What-You-Can access, transformative stories, bold new plays, and youth education.

DAFs are one of the fastest-growing ways people give, because they’re flexible, tax-smart, and impactful.
