Every time you give to The Jed Foundation (JED), you send a clear message: young people and their mental health matter. Your generosity strengthens the safety net that protects millions of teens and young adults with suicide prevention plans that save lives.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is one of the most tax-effective and powerful ways to make a difference. Many donors say that once they start giving this way, they say “yes” more often.
Your charitable dollars are already set aside, so recommending a grant takes just minutes. It’s strategic, tax-efficient, and most importantly, it’s an effective way to support the work you care about most.
As JED supporters Porter Hinton and Carla Variglotti shared:
“We chose to support The Jed Foundation through our donor-advised fund (DAF) because it lines up nicely with our values and goals for giving. JED’s work is impressive, meaningful, and impactful by equipping teens and young adults with the skills and support they need to succeed. Their work resonates deeply with us. By using our DAF we’re able to make a strategic and tax-efficient gift that will help support JED’s wonderful mission.”
Supporters are already making an impact. At JED Campus schools, students self-reported a 25% reduction in suicide attempts compared to their own rates before JED began its work. That’s the kind of real change your generosity makes possible.
If you have a DAF, recommending a grant to JED takes only a few clicks. If you don’t, take a few minutes to explore. Setting one up could be the important step you take to give young people hope, connection, and a safer future.
