Unlocking the Power of Donor-Advised Funds: 2026 Benchmark Report

October 7, 2026 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Join us in-person for an exclusive look at the latest trends and insights into donor-advised fund (DAF) fundraising. For the past two years, we’ve provided the only study of its kind to dive into the nonprofit experience with Donor-Advised Funds and DAF donor behavior. This session will unveil the latest findings from the 3rd Annual DAF Fundraising Report and provide valuable insights into DAF donor behavior, its impact on nonprofit fundraising, and how your nonprofit can secure more DAF gifts.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:

• Discover the latest developments and shifts in DAF usage among donors.
• Understand the differences in giving behavior between donors who use DAFs and those who do not.
• Learn to spot the pitfalls in your data and apply best practices that drive strong results.
