Presented in partnership by The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, the Valley Community Foundation and the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven.

Each year the DAF Research Collaborative releases a comprehensive report on donor advised funds. The 2026 report is scheduled for release in May, and we’re delighted to have a pre-release program to share with you.

Join us online to hear from Erinn Andrews, Founder and CEO of GiveTeam, a philanthropic advisory public benefit company and a member of the DAF Research Collaborative responsible for compiling the report. Andrews will provide an overview of the 2026 data, including new data collected from financial advisors. 

The program will include the latest research findings:

  • Financial Planning in the Age of Donor Advised Funds – insights from financial advisors, a new report area.
  • An overview of the 2026 report including changes and trends in DAFs.
  • DAF landscape – Updated study data about DAF founders, sponsors, payout rates, gifted assets and usage.
