Our Motivations
Charitable donations have continued growing for more than a decade
Overall, nonprofit organizations show consistent increase in fundraising performance year over year, although small nonprofits lag behind medium and large size nonprofits on reaching their goals. Fundraising strategy, mission’s focus, market understanding and retaining staff and volunteers are among the challenging areas.
High net-worth individuals prefer Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds have become the favorite giving channel for high net-worth individuals, surpassing private foundations nearly six years ago.
Donations received by Donor Advised Funds dwarf those by private foundations
In 2022, there were $229 billion in the accounts of DAFs. Donors gave nearly $86 billion to DAFs, versus $45 billion to private foundations.
Most nonprofits operate with minimal operating budgets
70% of nonprofits in the USA operate with a yearly budget of $50,000 or less, presenting many sizeable opportunities to overhaul, foster growth and scale their impact.
