How Your DAF Gift Supports Mona Foundation


Every DAF gift fuels grassroots education initiatives that empower children and communities to thrive.


  • $132 sends one child to school for an entire year (Mona's average scholarship cost).
  • $780 provides a vocational scholarship for 3 girls (Starfish International, The Gambia).
  • $1,800 supports the award-winning Arts Program for 200 students (Badi School, Panama).
  • $3,000 builds and maintains a 1-room school (SHEF, India).


These are only a few examples of the impact your generosity creates. Be part of our global community working to ensure education — the most powerful force for change — reaches those who need it most.

What is a Donor-Advised Fund?


A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account — for the sole purpose of supporting causes you care about.


Here's how it works:

  1. You contribute cash, stock or other assets to your DAF.
  2. You receive an immediate tax deduction.
  3. You recommend grants to charities like Mona Foundation over time.


With a DAF, you can plan your giving in advance, simplfy your record-keeping, and make a greater impact — all at your own pace.

Why Give Through a DAF?


  • Tax Benefits: Receive an immediate tax deduction and avoid all capital tax gain when contributing appreciated assets.
  • Simplicity: Manage all your charitible giving from one place.
  • Flexibility: Recommend grants at any time — now or in the future.
  • Impact: Use your DAF to make thoughtful, strategic gifts that change lives.
