Donor-advised Funds
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a new research report, Influence, Affluence and Opportunity: Donor-advised Funds in Canada, produced in partnership with CAGP Foundation and KCI.
This brand-new report follows research done in 2018 and 2021 and discusses the latest information on Donor-advised Funds, presents the scope and growth of DAFs in Canada, discusses misconceptions, and suggests ways to improve how DAFs can support donors
