Happy DAF Day! 🎉 No worries if you haven't heard of DAF Day before. Today actually marks the first-ever DAF Day, a giving day dedicated to donor advised funds. If you’re intrigued by the idea of opening a donor advised fund, you’re not alone. The number of individual DAFs rose to nearly 2 million in the U.S. in 2022. That's up 2.9% from 2021. 📈 🤔 So you may be asking yourself: 🔹 What are DAFs? 🔹 Why are they increasingly popular? 🔹 What should you consider if you’re looking into one? You have questions and we have answers! Learn more about if a donor advised fund could be right for you ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02SQR1H0 #DAFday #DonorAdvisedFund #DAF #CharitableGiving #philanthropy #NonCashAssets

💡 Fun fact: Donor advised funds (DAFs) are the fastest growing charitable tool in American history. Why so popular? One reason is because of their ability to simplify estate administration. Here are four benefits of a DAF that you can discuss with your clients: 🔹 Flexibility — Rather than naming individual charitable beneficiaries of a will, trust or financial account, a donor can name their DAF as a single charitable beneficiary. 🔹 Give at any time — A DAF can distribute grants at any time, meaning that your clients can recommend grants at their own pace. 🔹 Simplified administration — DAFs make administration much easier and streamlined for financial advisors, executors and trustees. 🔹 Legacy building — Your clients can use their DAF to pass on their love of charitable giving. Family and/or friends can be named as successor advisors to a fund, so they'll have the opportunity to decide what organizations they would like to support. Mariah Brook, Director of Gift Planning at the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, shares more about how DAFs can simplify your clients' estate administration in our latest blog post ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02RzzGl0 #DonorAdvisedFunds #DAF #CharitableGiving #EstateAdministration #LegacyGiving

Last week we gathered together to celebrate the 2024 Facing Race Awards. 🏆 It was a wonderful evening honoring this year's recipients — Ma Elena Gutierrez, Tish Jones, Jametta Raspberry and Larry G. Tucker, LMFT — who are challenging absent and harmful narratives on race, building solutions that unite instead of divide and pushing for justice and equity. Thank you to Border CrosSing for opening the awards celebration with a beautiful performance, Arepa Bar for the delicious appetizers and The Essence Event Center for hosting us in your space!
