Unlocking the Potential of Donor Advised Funds through Data Analysis

Donor advised fund (DAF) gifts have become more common in the industry but they are still vastly under-utilized data points for nonprofits. While it's wonderful to see DAF donations come in, the question remains: How can fundraisers enhance their proactive approach in soliciting DAF contributions? This session will take you on an investigative journey about DAF donations, from the National MS Society to The Nature Conservancy. Come with me to focus data questions about DAFs and explore DAFs as an area for growth, not just in the amount of gifts coming in but also in the dollar figures. As DAF donations continue to gain popularity and emerge as a preferred giving method for many donors, let's examine the data surrounding DAFs, delving into pertinent questions and uncovering insights that can ignite growth.
