Introduction to Donor Advised Funds
Session Description:
Donor advised funds are the fastest growing vehicle for U.S. philanthropy and they are changing the way that Americans give to charity! In this session, national DAF expert, Dr. Brittany Kienker, will help participants better understand how DAFs work and how to use this tool as part of your nonprofit’s fundraising toolbox. She will address many of the field’s most frequently asked questions about DAFs and offer insights on the legal and financial parameters of donors’ DAF accounts. Additionally, attendees will learn about recent and emerging research that is informing the sector’s understanding of DAFs, including findings about Michigan-based DAFs. You’ll come away with new strategies and actionable resources to more effectively engage with DAFs as part of your fundraising and planned giving programs.
