OCTOBER 9th IS DAF DAY - A NATIONAL DAY OF GIVING

DAF Day on October 9th is a special opportunity for generous supporters like you to make a meaningful impact using your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).


What is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A DAF is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account that allows you to support the causes you care about, like the Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation, while receiving an immediate tax benefit. With over 1,000 providers nationwide, opening a DAF is simple and accessible.

Make Your Generosity Go Further:


Donating appreciated stock to the Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation can help you avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction. It's a smart way to give more without spending more.



Words of Wisdom from Pastor Pat:

Each week, Pat Thompson provides a message regarding thoughts on faith, motivation, spirituality, and other topics to give you food for thought, reflection, and inspiration.
