Greetings!

For decades, IDAA has served as a sanctuary for healthcare professionals and their families navigating the journey of recovery. As we look toward the future, we want to ensure that our global safety net remains strong, resilient, and accessible to every healthcare professional who needs it.

As you begin your year-end financial and charitable planning, we want to highlight a giving tool that many of our members utilize: Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs).

Giving through a DAF allows you to maximize your tax benefits while directing grants to the causes that matter most to you. If you already hold a DAF with providers like Schwab Charitable, recommending a grant to IDAA is seamless and takes only a few clicks.

Why members choose DAF giving:

• Simplicity: Consolidate your charitable giving into one central account.
• Immediate Impact: Recommend grants at any time to support specific initiatives, like our Scholarship Fund or General Operations.
• Tax Efficiency: Take advantage of tax deductions when you contribute to your fund, then distribute grants on your own timeline.

Over the next few weeks, we will share a few educational insights on how innovative giving strategies can help secure IDAA’s future—ensuring our doors remain wide open for generations to come.
