Support HIF Through Your Donor Advised Fund

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple and flexible way to support the Housing Industry Foundation’s mission to prevent homelessness and strengthen communities. By recommending a grant from your DAF to HIF, you can make an immediate impact on families and individuals facing housing instability.

Why give through a DAF?

  • Easy and flexible: Recommend a gift from your DAF at any time, on your own schedule.

  • Tax-efficient: Enjoy the tax benefits of a charitable contribution while supporting causes you care about.

  • Immediate impact: Your DAF gift allows HIF to provide emergency financial assistance, support affordable housing initiatives, and renovate shelters for families in need.
