Does your organization struggle to engage donors behind gifts from donor-advised funds (DAFs)? Have you received a generous DAF gift but wondered how to thank the anonymous donor and build a lasting connection? Engaging DAF donors can be challenging, especially when anonymity creates a barrier. However, with thoughtful strategies, your nonprofit can foster gratitude, retention, and deeper donor relationships, even with DAF contributors.  

In this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising podcast, Ryan Carpenter, VP of Client Success at GivingDNA, tackles the challenges nonprofits face with DAF giving. Ryan shares practical strategies to build stronger relationships with DAF donors, despite anonymity, and highlights ways to simplify the process of accepting and stewarding DAF gifts. 

With the average DAF contribution exceeding $1,100—five to twenty times higher than traditional gifts—it’s essential to position your organization to make the most of this powerful giving vehicle. Ryan explores common misconceptions about DAFs, offers actionable insights to streamline DAF gift acceptance, and demonstrates how technology can bridge the gap between your organization and anonymous donors. 

Join us as we discuss: 

How to proactively communicate that you accept DAF contributions.
Effective strategies for engaging DAF donors and their sponsoring organizations.
The role of technology in donor profiling and identifying untapped opportunities 

Whether you’re new to DAFs or looking for ways to optimize your approach, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you deepen connections with DAF donors and amplify your impact.

Lyrics:

I’ll pray for you into the blazing sun
I’ll burn for you I give my light
I’ll pray for you until the day is done
Though you did me wrong it’s right

I’ll pray for you until the day is done
Though you did me wrong it’s right

When love runs through the door, Kicks you down with it’s force
You can run for the hills, Or just stay on the course
When love runs on its course, It don’t care who it hurts
It’s up to you to decide, What the sorrow is worth

I’ll pray for you until the day is done
Though you did me wrong it’s right

When love runs through the door, Kicks you down with it’s force
You can run for the hills, Or just stay on the course
When love runs on its course, It don’t care who it hurts
It’s up to you to decide, What the sorrow is worth

I’ll pray for you until the day is done
Though you did me wrong it’s right
