In organizing, we love doubling our impact — whether that’s reaching two voters with one door knock, using an advocacy campaign to teach public speaking skills, or developing an organizing strategy as part of an ICE-watch training. What could be better than (strategically!) “feeding two birds with one scone”?
MVF has an opportunity for you to literally double the impact of your charitable giving. Presenting: the #HalfMyDAF movement!
We are partnering with #HalfMyDAF to help you — our friends and supporters — double your impact when you give to MVF.
Here’s how it works:
- If you are a DAF holder, commit to spending down half of the funding in your DAF (as of January 1 of this year) by October 8, 2026.
- Make your giving plan from now until October and start making donations!
- Send proof of your donations to #HalfMyDAF.
- Celebrate when #HalfMyDAF matches dollar-for-dollar charitable contributions made from your DAF up to $5,000!
A $5,000 donation would become a $10,000 donation, just like that!
That could make the difference between an MVF partner making 100 outreach calls instead of 50, training 20 volunteers instead of 10, or engaging 10 voters instead of five.
Suzy Myers, an MVF donor organizing leader in Washington state, has been participating in #HalfMyDAF to support MVF for years. Here’s what she said:
“My DAF is meant to be spent, not saved! And since I discovered HalfMyDAF in 2023, each year my grant to MVF through my DAF has been selected for a match. It's an elegantly easy way to double the impact of my donation to the Movement Voter Fund."

Ongoing and big investment is one of the best ways to sustain and grow the long-term organizing we need — not just to halt the slide into autocracy, but also to envision and build a better future that works for everyone.
When you join #HalfMyDAF, you’ll help support MVF partners like Alliance for Youth Organizing, which is ramping up efforts on college campuses across the country to organize young people, or Make The Road PA, OnePA4ALL, and Pennsylvania Stands Up Institute, who are having deep conversations with voters about cuts to social safety net programs and the power of their vote to create change.
We invite you to join #HalfMyDAF to double your impact. The more we invest together in our partners’ incredible work, the more they will be able to achieve this year and for years to come.
