À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Are donor-advised funds holding money hostage — or are they one of the most powerful tools in the charitable sector? In Part 2 of our DAF series, Senior Consultants Jill Nelson and Peter McKinley tackle the real concerns and common misconceptions surrounding how donor-advised funds operate.
From disbursement quotas and endowment comparisons to anonymity, stewardship barriers, and complex gift vehicles, Jill and Peter bring clarity, nuance, and a healthy dose of optimism to a topic that is reshaping charitable giving in Canada.
In this episode, they explore:
- What the disbursement quota is and why it matters to DAF giving
- Whether money in DAFs is really "languishing" — and what the data shows
- How charities can still steward DAF donors, even when anonymity is involved
- Why DAFs are not the enemy — and how charities and DAFs can collaborate
- How DAFs may be growing the pie of charitable giving, not just redirecting it
- What's coming next in the Global Philanthropic Canada DAF podcast series
Stay tuned — colleagues Amy Lindenberger and Derek Fraser will be joining future episodes to share case studies and practical strategies your organization can put to work.
