Donor Advised Funds Explained, Critiqued, and Reimagined
Monday, October 28 – 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CT
Virtual event
Get all your questions answered about donor advised funds (DAF). Learn why they’re popular, the tax benefits and the dark side of DAFs. Headwaters holds DAF for individuals and families. Our radical approach to donororganizing and our philosophies around philanthropy as an institution founded on our nation’s racial wealth divide have us DAF’ing differently. We prioritize moving resources to movements with urgency and our DAF holders subscribe to these sentiments as well.
Join us for a lively conversation!
