Why Giving Matters: Recurring giving with donor-advised funds results in more reliable funding for nonprofits

A DAF is a powerful giving vehicle for long-term, strategic philanthropy. It offers immediate tax benefits and the opportunity to invest charitable assets and recommend grants to 501(c)(3) charities on flexible timelines. This allows donors to leverage their DAF accounts for their favorite charitable causes for years to come. 

Reviewing the impact of donors’ recurring giving and their engagement with their favorite nonprofits yielded incredible findings. Donors use recurring grants to give throughout the year, and they also use it to extend their giving for years. In fact, the impact of recurring granting from a DAF leads to powerful, surprising results!
