Giving via Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) has surged over the past few years: grants from DAFs to nonprofit organizations totaled $46 billion in 2021, a five-fold increase compared to a decade prior. More and more donors are opening these tax-savvy accounts, and more than two-thirds of contributions are appreciated assets like stock and crypto, which have a massive impact on long-term success for nonprofits.
If fundraising professionals can get better at finding, cultivating, and stewarding DAF donors, they’ll have a significant impact on the future of their organization.
