A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a separately identified fund or account, used by a donor, that is maintained and operated by a 501(c)(3) organization like a community foundation, or private financial institution like Fidelity Charitable or Schwab. They are the fastest growing philanthropic tool in our industry. A person or family sets up a DAF for the sole purpose of supporting charities they care about.
The check you receive may say “Sam and Sue Jones Foundation”, but it could actually be a DAF – what’s the difference? What are the best practices for DAF thank you letters and other communications necessary in a funding relationship? Top development offices know how to build these relationships to increase impact for the donor and the organization.
Join us on November 19th to learn about Donor Advised Funds.

She’ll help us understand why people set them up, what are the advantages, how you interact with a donor using a DAF, as well as the philanthropic advisor managing their fund.
