Research Meets Practice: Advisors, Clients & DAFs
Tuesday April 28, 2026 1:00PM – 2:00PM
Online via zoom
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) continue to grow in popularity among donors and financial advisors. Especially in recent years, researchers have studied DAFs to understand usage and trends to inform practitioners in the field.
Join us online to hear from Erinn Andrews, Founder and CEO of GiveTeam, a philanthropic advisory public benefit company and a co-author of the latest research paper from the DAF Research Collaborative, Financial Planning in the Age of Donor Advised Funds (to be published in May).
Andrews will provide an overview of DAF trends from the last few years, information on common DAF donor archetypes, insights from a recently released American Endowment Foundation report on DAFs, and insights from focus groups she led as part of the Financial Planning in the Age of Donor Advised Funds research.
This virtual presentation for advisors is sponsored by the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, and the Valley Community Foundation.
