Use Your DAF to Make a Difference!

Special Olympics New York changes lives and provides a welcoming space for everyone to FEEL included and BE included, on and off the field.

Our athletes exemplify what it means to be BRAVE – they face challenges head-on, demonstrating courage EVERY single day.

Are you ready to bring YOUR brave and make a life-changing gift? We invite New Yorkers to unite in making a meaningful impact by supporting Special Olympics New York through a donor-advised fund (DAF). DAFs are private accounts designed to help manage and distribute charitable donations.

What is a donor-advised fund DAF?
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is an account where you can deposit assets for donation to charity over time. Donor-advised funds also accept non-cash assets, such as stocks, mutual funds and bonds, as well as complex assets, such as private S- and C-corporation stock. You receive a tax deduction for making contributions to the donor-advised fund.

How do I donate to Special Olympics New York with my DAF?
Choose your donor-advised fund servicer, login to your account and make your donation.
