Donor Advised Fund (DAF) donors give generously and responsively to a range of charities, and challenges both short- and long-term. This giving vehicle is quickly becoming the route of choice for philanthropically-inclined people to support their favorite causes. In fact, the DAF Grant Payout rate remains over 20% for the last 10 years, 4x that of private foundations.

Join AFP-Palm Beach County to learn how donors are using their DAFs to give now and in the future.
