Donor-advised funds are charitable investment accounts that allow you to recommend grants to organizations you care about—like The Land Institute—while receiving immediate tax benefits. They’re an increasingly popular way to make giving more strategic, flexible, and impactful.
Using a DAF is simple. Whether you’re giving for the first time or supporting us annually, here’s what to expect:
Open a donor-advised fund through a sponsoring organization like Fidelity, Schwab (DAF 360 Giving), Vanguard, or a community foundation.
Make a tax-deductible donation to your DAF—this can include cash, stock, or other assets.
Search for The Land Institute using our EIN (48-0842156) and recommend a grant in your online portal.
Some DAF sponsors don’t share donor details. Please let us know about your gift through our Contact Form or by calling our main office (785) 823-5376 for assistance.
We’ll keep you informed about the impact of your gift through updates and opportunities to connect.
You can schedule recurring grants from your DAF or name The Land Institute as a beneficiary of the remaining balance.

You’ll need our legal name (The Land Institute), EIN (48-0842156), and mailing address (2440 E Water Well Rd, Salina, KS 67401). Some DAF platforms may ask for a contact person—feel free to use impact@landinstitute.org.
Yes. Many DAF providers allow you to schedule recurring grants. It’s a great way to provide consistent support for long-term work.
Most DAF sponsors let you include your name with your grant. If your name isn’t included, we may not know who made the gift—so please reach us through our Contact Form or call our main office (785) 823-5376 to ensure we can thank you and keep you updated.
No. You receive a tax deduction when you contribute to your donor-advised fund, not when you recommend a grant. The DAF sponsor will issue your tax receipt.
Your support funds long-term scientific research, collaborative partnerships, and farmer-led fieldwork to shape a resilient agricultural future.
We do. We welcome support through all charitable giving vehicles. Contact us if you’d like to discuss options.
