Join us for Part 2 of our DAF Teach-in for grant professionals, where we’ll look at ways to work to advocate for systems change both collectively and from our individual positions. We’ll have Community Centric Fundraising Global Council Member, Abigail Oduol sharing a presentation from her article, “Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) and Changing the Sector.”

This is Part 2. During DAF 101, Patrice Shumate, MTGW organizer, brought us through a deep dive so we could arm ourselves with facts on where the money comes from, where it goes, who is involved, and what impact it is making in the nonprofit sector.
