Every year, wealthy donors divert more money into intermediaries, drying up the river of donations meant for working charities. We can change that.

Secretive funding from ultra-wealthy donors has shaped the courts and public policy. Here’s how one donor-advised fund has facilitated that.

Publishers of donor-advised fund data are including hundreds of thousands of workplace giving accounts in their averages. That skews the picture.

Donor-advised funds are making misleading claims in response to criticism that they are warehousing wealth instead of boosting charitable giving.

Make no mistake: this pandemic is the “rainy day” DAFs and foundations have been saving for.
