Support IGFA Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

Do you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)? As a qualified nonprofit organization, the IGFA is eligible to receive grants from your DAF. Supporting our mission through your Donor-Advised Fund is as straightforward as recommending a grant through your fund administrator – whether that's Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, National Philanthropic Trust, or your local community foundation.

Your DAF grant to the IGFA advances vital work in game fish conservation, angling education, and recognition of outstanding achievements in our sport. Like choosing the right moment to cast your line, you can time your support to align with your charitable giving strategy while making a meaningful impact on the future of sportfishing.

Advantages of Giving Through Your DAF

  • Flexibility to recommend grants of any size that fit your giving strategy
  • Simplicity of recommending grants online through your fund administrator
  • Ability to establish recurring support
  • Option to name IGFA as a beneficiary of your fund for lasting impact
  • Freedom to support specific IGFA programs that match your interests
  • Choice to give anonymously if you prefer

Whether you recommend a single grant or establish recurring support, your DAF can help ensure that future generations will enjoy the thrill of sportfishing while learning the importance of conservation and ethical angling practices. Like selecting the right gear for different fishing conditions, you can direct your DAF support to the IGFA programs that matter most to you.

 

Create a Lasting Legacy Through Your DAF

Beyond recommending current grants, you can create a lasting legacy by naming the IGFA as a beneficiary of your DAF. This simple yet powerful option ensures your support for game fish conservation and education continues beyond your lifetime, much like passing down cherished fishing traditions to future generations.

By naming the IGFA as a beneficiary of your DAF, you will be invited to join the distinguished IGFA Lerner Society, named after our visionary founder Michael Lerner, alongside others who have committed to securing the future of our sport. Of course, you may always choose to give anonymously.

Finding the Right Strategy for You
