Donor-Advised Funds

A new study on donor-advised funds revealed increased long-term and responsive giving, as well as other donor behaviors and sentiments.

The DAF Research Collaborative released a study that answers some of the most pressing questions about donor-advised funds.

Donors will be able to give from their DAF to nonprofits directly through Gravyty using DAFpay, which was created by Chariot.

DonorDrive will use Chariot’s DAFpay solution, enabling DonorDrive clients to accept DAF payments through existing forms.

The “2023 Donor-Advised Fund Report” showed that the value of DAF grantmaking to charitable organizations increased 9%.

Trends have shown both annual and major donors pulled back their charitable gifts last year due to economic uncertainty. Despite that, giving from donor-advised funds (DAFs) remained strong last year. And so far this year — or fiscal year for some DAF grantors — that remains true. 

A new spotlight report from National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), found that DAF grantmaking growth rates have consistently surpassed growth rates of individual giving and other forms of giving for the past 15 years.

A recent Vanguard Charitable report reveals established DAF donors give more consistently and more monetarily than new DAF donors.

Vicky Kelberer, research and strategy group manager at Vanguard Charitable, kicked off NonProfit PRO's NonProfit POWER event on Dec. 5 with a keynote address. Here are the six key steps she suggested nonprofits should take to create a donor-advised fund (DAF) strategy.
