Our Donor-in-Movement Fund toolkit.
Why Donor-in-Movement Funds?
Donor-advised funds were originally created to be a mutually beneficial solution for donors to get tax breaks and nonprofits to get funding. But, because there is no legal requirement to ensure those dollars get to nonprofits, the funds simply sit and grow.
As of 2020, more than $1 trillion dollars have been parked in donor-advised funds and family foundations, lying dormant across the nation. Last year, more than 76% of DAF dollars never went anywhere, all while DAFs nationwide grew by more than $8 billion from 2019 to 2020. It’s clear that donor-advised funds aren’t doing what they were created to do.
With the racial wealth gap growing, and the rights of our communities and our environment under constant attack – we need a better solution. At Seeding Justice, we’ve reimagined Donor-Advised Funds as Donor-in-Movement Funds, where donors AND community benefit by rapidly shifting wealth to the communities that need it most. We hope you’ll join us!
