DAF Day

The CLEO Institute is proud to participate in the first-ever DAF Day—a day of giving that will change how the world sees DAFs and who uses them, starting now.

As Floridians faced their second major hurricane in just two weeks, the impacts of the climate crisis have never been clearer. After the devastation of Hurricane Helene, which claimed over 200 lives across the Southeast, Hurricane Milton barreled toward the Tampa Bay region of Florida after rapidly intensifying in the warm waters of the Gulf. This rapid intensification is directly linked to climate change caused by global warming, making it all the more urgent that we act now to reduce fossil fuel pollution.

At CLEO, we’re working on the front lines of climate education and advocacy to ensure that:

1. Florida communities are equipped with the knowledge and resources to prepare for the impacts of climate change.

2. Young leaders are empowered to drive climate action through our genCLEO program, creating a future where we prioritize climate justice and resilience.

3. We continue to push for stronger climate policies and infrastructure investments that protect the most vulnerable.

But we can’t make this progress without your support! If you have a DAF, we hope you’ll consider directing a gift to The CLEO Institute. To make your DAF contribution enter the amount you would like to donate, click continue and select the "Donor-advised fund" payment method and follow the prompts.

You can also help us by spreading the word! Share your support on social media using #DAFforCLEO and #DAFDay, or encourage your friends who have a DAF to participate.

Together, we can build a future that protects us all from the devastating effects of climate change. Thank you for your continued support of The CLEO Institute—it truly makes a difference.
