105: The Nonprofit Leader’s Guide to Demystifying Donor Advised Funds (Catherine Warfield)

SUMMARY

While the knowledge required for successful nonprofit leadership is extensive, one area that can be challenging - and even intimidating - is legacy or planned giving.  Complicating this subject are the various philanthropic vehicles many donors are using, especially the increasingly popular Donor Advised Fund.  What are they? How do they work? How can your nonprofit better engage the donors who use them? These are exactly the questions Catherine Warfield and I discuss in episode #105 the Path, as she brings her expertise and practical insight to explain these important concepts. Catherine also provides great reminders about the partnership potential that is available at your local community foundation, and how you can better identify and utilize the resources you may not know exist.
