Unique Ways to Give
There are countless ways to support our mission beyond a standard gift—and many can offer valuable tax advantages for you and your family.
Whether you’re interested in giving through a Donor Advised Fund, making a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA, donating appreciated stock, or exploring a legacy gift, we invite you to consider these powerful options that sustain our work now and into the future.
Explore the dropdowns below to learn more.
Donor Advised Funds
Do you have a Donor-Advised Fund? You can use it to make a powerful, tax-efficient gift to support our mission.
Our secure online tool makes giving easy: you can recommend how you’d like your grant to be used, communicate your intentions directly with DSF, and connect to your DAF provider—all in one place.
Supporting DSF through your DAF is a simple way to sustain progress in research and patient support, while preserving cash for other needs.
Matching Gifts
Double—or even triple—your impact with no extra cost to you.
Thousands of companies match donations their employees make to nonprofits like Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF). It’s a simple way to amplify your support and accelerate progress for families affected by Dravet syndrome.
DSF donors are leading the way—last year alone, we identified over $124,000 in match-eligible gifts. That’s thanks to engaged supporters who took just a few minutes to unlock their employers’ matching gift benefits.
Check your eligibility below by typing in your employer’s name. You can also visit our Matching Gifts FAQ to learn more about how the process works.
Together, we can go even further—one matched gift at a time.

Volunteer Gifts
At DSF, we are proud of the time and talent our patient families and supporters dedicate to supporting our programs and community. Now, many employers are making it possible to multiply the value of your service through volunteer grants.
Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving initiatives in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where their employees volunteer. For example, if you volunteer your time with DSF, your employer may contribute a financial gift to DSF in recognition of your service.
