Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support causes you care about. It’s like a charitable investment account—one that lets you recommend grants, while growing your philanthropic capital through tax-free investments. Whether you give now or plan for the future, a DAF makes it easy to align your giving with your values.

Give Stock

Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-smart ways to support Resource Renewal Institute. By giving stock directly, you can avoid capital gains taxes and may be eligible to deduct the full fair market value of your gift. It’s a powerful way to maximize your impact while supporting long-term environmental solutions.
