By Chuck Collins, Helen Flannery, Dan Petegorsky, and Bella DeVaan / Inequality.orgThirty years ago, donor-advised funds (or DAFs) were relatively obscure giving vehicles housed in a small set of community foundations. Today, they’re central players in U.S. charitable giving — and have rocketed to dominance. DAFs now take in a sixth of all individual giving each year. And nine of the top 20 recipients of charitable gifts in the country — including the top three — are DAF sponsors.

For as long as we can remember, the end of the calendar year has marked the start of America’s giving season. The holidays that light up our darkest months also invite us to celebrate (and practice) generosity. Food banks, youth groups, arts and civic organizations, and community service programs heavily depend on the support they receive in November and December.
