About this episode
This week Jeff Conn, Co-CEO of NPact, and Gabe Cooper, CEO of Virtuous, join the conversation to discuss the evolving landscape of community-based giving, particularly focusing on the rise and significance of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) and the role of community foundations. Historically, community foundations have played a key role in philanthropy but are now facing challenges and competition from commercial DAF providers. What can we learn from the rise of donor-advised funds to create more hyper-personal donor experiences and draw people into a bigger story about their impact?
In the discussion, we explored:
- The challenges currently facing community foundations
- The rise of the donor-advised fund
- How technology can enhance donor experiences
- Strategies to meet the expectations of the modern donor
