Direct Your Contribution Through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

An easy, flexible, and tax-smart way to support Healthy Acadia, on your timeline.

A Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, is like a charitable savings account. You contribute to the fund—typically through a financial institution or community foundation—receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to nonprofits like Healthy Acadia over time. It’s a simple and impactful way to give to causes you care about, with the flexibility to plan your giving on your own schedule.

Through a DAF, you can recommend grants to charitable organizations, now or in the future. Your donation is invested and can grow tax-free. You can also name Healthy Acadia as a successor beneficiary of your DAF, ensuring your legacy continues to support community health for years to come.

If you already have a DAF and would like to make a gift in support of Healthy Acadia, please provide the information below your fund manager:

Healthy Acadia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our EIN is 27-0548057. Our address is 77 Beechland Road, Ellsworth, ME 04605. Please feel free to contact us if additional information is needed to process your grant recommendation.
