Today is Donor Advised Funds (DAF) Day! ...and what exactly are "donor advised funds?" 🤔 Well, a donor advised fund, or "DAF," is a tax-advantaged investment account that allows donors to make donations to charities. If you support multiple organizations, or if you want to secure a charitable deduction now and designate beneficiaries later, a DAF may work for you.

About us
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) fights for bold and creative solutions to the pollution that plagues the Bay and its tributaries. Across the six-state Chesapeake watershed, CBF sets the agenda, serves as a watchdog, and speaks out on behalf of the Chesapeake Bay to business, government, and the public. CBF fights for strong and effective laws and regulations and works cooperatively with government, business, and citizens in partnerships to protect and restore the Bay. When necessary, we use legal means to force compliance with existing laws. We restore the Bay's essential habitats and filtering mechanisms, such as forests, wetlands, underwater grasses, and oysters, through a variety of hands-on projects. Finally, CBF's environmental education program introduces residents to the wonders of the watershed and works to heighten sensitivity, increase knowledge, and empower citizens to take positive action toward the Bay's restoration.

"Virginia Marine Resources Commission's (VMRC) decision is a significant step toward a brighter future for the Bay’s blue crab population and helps ensure we have the best available science when making important decisions about Virginia’s blue crab fishery," said CBF Virginia Executive Director Chris Moore.
