Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation

We’re proud to be part of DAF Day 2025! 🌟 📅 On October 9, donors and nonprofits nationwide will come together to celebrate generosity through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), one of the fastest-growing ways to give. A DAF works like a charitable giving account: ✅ Contribute today and receive an immediate tax benefit ✅ Grow your dollars tax-free ✅ Recommend grants to the nonprofits you care about—anytime At AAACF, we believe in the power of collective generosity. By donating on DAF Day through your DAF, you can strengthen impact right here at home while being part of a national movement for good. 👉 Make your gift today: http://www.dafday.com AAACF Donor Advised Fund: https://buff.ly/Oxf0GEV #DAFDay2025 #MultiplyGenerosity #GiveTogether #MakeAnImpact #AAACF

🎉 What a day at @apple-playschools ’ Community Block Party, located at the corner of Miller & Chapin in Ann Arbor!

✨ Your generosity goes further than you can imagine. Whether your gift is big or small, every donation counts, and on DAF Day, Oct. 9, your support goes even further, creating a bigger impact for nonprofits that need it most. ✨ A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) makes your philanthropy simpler, more flexible, and more impactful. With a DAF, you can: ✅ Contribute cash, stock, or other assets and receive an immediate tax deduction ✅ Invest contributions so they can grow tax-free ✅ Recommend grants to the nonprofits you care about—on your own timeline 💡 Many of our fundholders choose a DAF because it helps them organize their giving, amplify their impact, and support causes with greater ease. 👉 Give smarter, give together this DAF Day: https://buff.ly/8jXG9KI AAACF Donor Advised Fund: https://buff.ly/Oxf0GEV #DAFDay #GiveBigger #EveryGiftCounts #SupportNonprofits #MultiplyGenerosity #SmartGiving #AAACF

🌿🦋 At the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, we believe that collective generosity creates lasting change. That’s why we are proud to sponsor the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum and the Leslie Science & Nature Center through their Access for All program - expanding opportunities for every child and family in our community to experience the power of science, nature, and discovery. This evening, our President & CEO, Shannon Polk, will join fellow supporters at the Flutter Fundraiser to speak on how the Butterfly Effect - the idea that one small action can spark a chain reaction of transformation - reflects the impact we can make together as donors, nonprofits, and community partners. By aligning our efforts, we are planting seeds that will grow into stronger opportunities, deeper connections, and brighter futures for Washtenaw County. 💛 JOIN THE MOVEMENT! 🔗 Learn more about Access for All: https://buff.ly/q2fTbxZ 🔗 Flutter Fundraiser details: https://buff.ly/dK7j2xa #AAACF #AccessForAll #FlutterFundraiser #ButterflyEffect #CommunityImpact #CollectiveGiving #AnnArbor #HandsOnMuseumA2 #LeslieNatureCenter
