It felt so good to read this news - amazing validation for all the time we’ve been spending to generate learning resources on DAFs for fundraisers 😁 Fidelity Charitable makes a “significant” 3 year grant to AFP Global to create a full DAF curriculum, educating nonprofit fundraisers on how Donor Advised Funds work and how to raise more from them 🌟 “Fundraising professionals want to know about the trends, such as Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), that are influencing the behavior of their donors, and becoming a growing and integral part of philanthropy in the United States. However, education on these trends and topics is not readily available.” 👀 I’ve been saying this for over a year to anyone that would listen - and whole-heartedly welcome more folks, with more funding, to the cause! 🗣️ It’ll take a community-wide effort to move our sector forward & increase readiness for the seismic shift in philanthropy that’s happening with DAFs 🌊 It’s critical that people working for nonprofits have the knowledge, processes and tools to maximize DAF giving for their causes - excited to keep pushing this forward 💪🏼 #nonprofit #fundraising #philanthropy

The article by Valerie Conn and Sofia Michelakis' highlights the growing trend in fundraising: funders are now actively seeking contributions from their peers to amplify their initiatives, moving beyond traditional grantmaking and donor collaborations. This "funders fundraising" approach allows funders to tackle complex issues like climate change and social justice more effectively by leveraging additional resources. While it offers benefits such as resource efficiency and strategy validation, it also presents challenges, including potential funding diversions and equity concerns. As funders consider incorporating fundraising into their strategies, it's crucial to engage with communities, assess internal capabilities, and maintain transparency to ensure the approach aligns with their mission and promotes equitable outcomes. #philanthropy #fundraising PQ (Philanthropy Quotient) Solutions
