As #DAFDay approaches, we’re looking at why.

How do you honour someone’s life after death?
Jessica’s family raised $10,000 in memory of her dad. Some want to support cancer research. Others want to support youth sports, because he loved sports and coached kids.
John’s advice? Don’t choose.
Most charities are not turning down your $20.
Except maybe a private foundation.
@johnbromley shares why giving can start with money, time, talent, or learning more about the causes you care about.
