Promo Strategies – Leveraging DAFs
May 3, 2021 @ 12:00 pm
Description
The use of Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) as a means for individuals to make philanthropic gifts continues to rise. Between 2017 and 2018 there was a 55% increase in the number of DAF accounts. And DAFs accounted for 12.7% of overall philanthropy in 2018 compared with just 4.4% in 2010. Because there’s no denying the growing significance of DAFs in the total philanthropy picture, Claire Axelrad, J.D., CFRE feels it is imperative you understand how they work and how they may be of benefit to your charity. In this session we will look at:
- What a DAF is/is not
- Who DAF donors are + 6 common characteristics
- 3 ways to best serve DAF donors
- 9 strategies to attract and leverage DAF philanthropy
Learn how to get your fair share of this growing pot of philanthropic largesse!
