Other Ways to Give
Make a Gift from Your Donor-Advised Fund
A grant from your donor-advised fund (DAF), empowers Cancer Nation’s mission to advocate for quality cancer care for all people touched by cancer.
DAFs can be easily set up through your financial institution or through a community foundation to serve as a flexible charitable giving vehicle. For more information on how to establish a DAF, contact your community foundation or financial advisor.
What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an investment account with the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you’ll enjoy an immediate tax deduction — and easily support Cancer Nation and other charities that matter to you, on your schedule.
You can make one-time gifts or set up recurring monthly donations. You can give to one charity or multiple, all from a single DAF.
DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.
What are the Benefits of Using a Donor-Advised Fund?
- Easily contribute a wide range of assets to a single, philanthropic fund.
- Centralize your giving and record-keeping in one location.
- Make an impact in the world—and enjoy an immediate tax deduction.
- Sustain the charities most important to you by establishing recurring DAF gifts.
- Invest your donation for tax-free growth.
- Support your legacy planning—many DAF sponsors allow you to pass the remaining funds in your account at your death to your favorite charities.

Vehicle Donation
Drive Change. Donate Your Vehicle.
Your old car can do more than take up space in the driveway. It can help fuel the work to improve life for people living with and beyond cancer. When you donate your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, or RV, you help power the movement for better care and stronger support for survivors across the country.
We’ve partnered with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS) to make donating simple. Whether your vehicle is running or not, the process is quick and hassle-free.
Here’s how it works:
- Complete the online vehicle donation form or call (855) 500-RIDE (7433).
- CARS will schedule a free, convenient vehicle pickup.
- After the vehicle is sold, 80% of the net proceeds will support the work of Cancer Nation.
- You’ll receive a tax receipt for your donation.
It’s one small step that can help drive real impact.
