Want to give more to charity? See how people are generating more dollars for charity with a donor-advised fund from Vanguard Charitable in this exclusive report.

In this 2023 study, Vanguard Charitable reveals a decade’s worth of data and new insights about donors utilizing its donor-advised fund for sustained philanthropy. A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows for the contribution of assets to a philanthropic account. Assets can then grow tax-free to create more charitable dollars while being granted to nonprofits.

Why Giving Matters seeks to better understand how using a DAF influences the giver and the grant recipients.

“We give much larger grants and spread that giving over the course of the year, as opposed to doing it all during December. With a DAF, it feels like our giving can be much more strategic.” – A Vanguard Charitable donor of 8 years

The data in this report shows how DAFs can help donors support nonprofit organizations more generously and more effectively.

For example, Why Giving Matters found that donors who have held their donor-advised fund for over 10 years give, on average, $17,000 more each year than those who recently opened an account. Could you be one of these high-impact donors?
