Some Community Foundations’ DAF Grants Are Leaving the Community. Is that a Bad Thing? A new report finds that when DAFs represent a larger proportion of a community foundation’s activities, more of its grants exit the community.

Join experienced family #advisors as they discuss the continued evolution of advising wealthy families, clients’ search for purpose, the questioning of wealth accumulation, and the role of modern philanthropic planning.

Wealthy individuals continue to expect more from their professional advisors. They want to discuss the underlying purpose of their assets, the assets’ impact on their families’ well-being, and their ability to use the assets to benefit others and achieve social impact.

@daylightadvisors.bsky.social is hosting a free webinar "The Constant Evolution of Professional Advising" on Feb 21. Register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The College Backlash Is a Mirage Americans are more pessimistic than ever about the value of a degree—but enrollment keeps going up.

Actual behavior doesn't match the 'college isn't worth it' mantra. Enrollment is up. Why? "Perhaps these people think college isn’t worth the cost in general, but end up sending their kids because they believe themselves to have gotten an unusually good deal."

Seeing the Forest for the Trees: Personal Reflection Prompts More Intentional Giving As we inch closer to Giving Season, our team wondered: Can themed reflection quizzes turn passion into action?

🧠 What happens when you ask people to reflect before they give?

Working alongside 1% for the Planet, we discovered something fascinating—a brief reflective exercise could be the missing link between charitable intentions and actual giving behavior.

www.ideas42.org/blog/seeing-...

The primers include many worksheets & comparison charts about:
-Family philanthropy fundamentals
-Defining your purpose
-Choosing your giving vehicle(s)
-Building a governance structure
-Creating an impact strategy
-Measuring your progress
-Administering your philanthropy
-Exploring your legacy

The Family Giving Lifecycle graphic is seven concentric circles labeled philanthropic purpose, impact vehicles & structures, governance, impact strategies & tools, assessment & learning, operations & management, succession & legacy.

Families have many decisions to navigate when they give together. No matter where a family is in its giving journey—just starting out or building on generations of experience—the new NCFP Family Giving Lifecycle primers offer invaluable guidance.

The field of #philanthropy #advising, #consulting, & #planning is evolving & growing. But potential clients and employers have a tough time navigating it.

@daylightadvisors.bsky.social with support from LaCire, has developed a new draft Philanthropic Advisor Competency Model.

America's older population is growing as its younger cohort shrinks Fewer working-age Americans could result in labor shortages.

The U.S. population aged 65 and up grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024. The number under 18 fell by 1.7%.

There are now 11 states with more adults 65 and up than children. In 2020, there were only 3.
