A recent report released by the Giving USA Foundation further confirms what we have been sharing for years: Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are one of the fastest growing charitable giving vehicles in the country. Between 2014 and 2018, grants given from DAFs to nonprofits doubled. According to a more recent report from the National Philanthropic Trust, contributions to DAFs accounted for roughly 10% of charitable donations in 2020 ($47.85 billion of the more than $471 billion donated).
