Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) as a Part of a Nonprofit's Fund Development Strategy

Thursday, June 18th, 2026
9am - 12pm; In Person

This is the a la cart session 2 of our Fund Development Certificate. By registering for this session you are not signing up for the entire certificate program.
******
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) have become one of the fastest-growing sources of charitable giving in the United States, yet many nonprofits rarely receive these grants because they aren't sure how to access them. In this session, nonprofit leaders will learn how Donor Advised Funds work so that they can develop a strategy for incorporating DAFs as a part of their diversified funding stream portfolio.

Participants will walk away with:
  • The knowledge needed to position their organizations to receive Donor Advised Funds
  • Practical tools and strategies for identifying donors who use DAFs
  • Systems that streamline processes and increase DAF donations, and
  • Strategies for increasing DAF recommended grants from sponsor organization charitable accounts
