Donor-advised fund donors and their giving
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a popular giving vehicle for donors looking to amplify their philanthropic impact. Because of this, grants from DAFs are an important source of funding for nonprofits across charitable causes.
Since its inception, Vanguard Charitable donors have granted more than $19 billion to over 100,000 unique nonprofits. Understanding the motivations and giving behaviors of these generous individuals can offer an important perspective for those in the nonprofit sector.
Why Giving Matters reports are full of data-driven findings on DAF donors’ giving behaviors. Reports feature more than a decade of giving from thousands of DAFs and stories direct from both donors and nonprofits.
