The 2023 edition examines data from 1,151 charitable organizations that sponsored donor-advised funds (DAFs) in 2022. The results show increases in grants from DAFs and contributions to DAFs—both reaching new highs.
This edition of the Donor-Advised Fund Report highlights continued growth for DAFs but at a slower pace than in recent years. There were steep increases in all metrics during the initial onset of the pandemic and its immediate aftermath. We are now observing slower rates of growth in grants and contributions and decreases in charitable assets and the payout rate. Some data highlights are included.
