Brian Howell, Director of Charitable Consulting at DAFgiving360, unpacks how donor-advised funds can move charitable giving from a year-end tax decision to a more deliberate part of long-term wealth planning. He walks through the core advantages of DAFs, from contributing appreciated and complex assets to investing for tax-free growth and building succession plans that can simplify charitable legacy decisions over time.
He also shares new DAFgiving360 research showing that DAF users tend to be more engaged, more recurring in their giving, and more connected to the causes they support. Howell makes the case that this creates a meaningful opening for advisors, not just in tax planning, but in helping clients tie philanthropy more closely to family legacy, major liquidity events, and broader financial strategy.
