  • Provide an overview of DAFs;  
  • Explain recent DAF giving trends and their potential impact;
  • Compare DAF gifts to foundation grants;
  • Offer specific tactics to maximize your organization’s receipt of DAF gifts. 

 

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of DAF opportunities and a handout to share with their teams.
