A missing year means no return for that year has been released yet, not that the organization was inactive. Years marked fall in the 2020–21 pandemic giving surge, when contributions into donor-advised funds rose sharply across the sector; treat them as an unusual period rather than a baseline.

Grant disclosure

Itemized 21,095 grant lines totalling $3.84B across 2019–2024 — $182K per line.

$202.5M of this sponsor’s grants went to other DAF sponsors — 5% of its itemized grantmaking. Money moved between sponsors is reported as a grant, but it has not yet reached a working charity. This total counts only organizations whose donor-advised fund program is their primary activity, so grants to universities and hospitals that happen to run a DAF on the side are excluded.

How these figures are calculated: methodology and disclosures. Source: IRS Form 990 e-file XML for fiscal year 2023, via the National Center for Charitable Statistics. Payout rate is DAF grants divided by DAF assets at year end. Recipient totals combine tax years 2019–2024 where filings are available. IRS release and parsing lag means recent years are incomplete for many organizations — NCCS advises treating the most recent year in the panel as partial.
