But do DAFs also affect *which* charities get funded? Politics are involved.

How Philanthropic Capital Can Fund Women Founders And Drive Impact Angel investor and SEC Advisor Marcia Dawood believes the next frontier for funding women founders might already exist in the billions of dollars sitting in DAFs.

< 3% of investment capital goes to women and people of color. #DAFs dollars can invest in impact-driven startups like those led by women and underrepresented founders.

Why Elon Musk’s $34 Billion Loss Wasn’t Really That What it tells us about the philanthropy of the ultra-wealthy.

Elon Musk “lost” $34B in a day — more than some countries' GDP. But for billionaires, a drop in share price isn't a crisis — it's a strategic opportunity. From tax breaks to public image, this is where loss becomes leverage.
