Nonprofit Coach: and Everything DAF! Podcast

🎧 https://amzn.to/3JACx8eIn this episode, Ted sits down with Donna Callejon, a longtime philanthropy executive, board leader, consultant, and donor with decades of hands-on experience across community foundations, national DAF sponsors, and global giving platforms.Donna brings a grounded, candid perspective shaped by working on every side of the table, donor, nonprofit, intermediary, and advisor. This conversation moves beyond talking points to explore how DAFs function in practice, where they succeed, where they fall short, and what donors and advisors too often misunderstand.Together, Ted and Donna explore:Community foundations and national DAF sponsorsWhy smaller, community-based DAFs are often painted with the same brush as large national providers, and why those distinctions matter for donors, nonprofits, and advisors.What donors misunderstand about DAF limitationsHow legal, operational, and sponsor-driven constraints shape what DAFs can and cannot do, especially around for-profit entities, staffing, and complex or international giving.Why DAFs took off when they didHow wealth creation, national sponsors, technology, and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 combined to transform DAFs from a niche tool into the fastest-growing vehicle in philanthropy.Regulation, power, and political realityWhy major regulatory change is unlikely without a crisis, and how scale and influence shape the future of DAF policy debates.Impact beyond traditional grantmakingHow DAFs can support entrepreneurship, impact investing, and creative charitable structures when sponsors are willing to do the hard work of compliance and oversight.Technology’s promise and its limitsWhy ease of use matters for donors, but why tech-driven “baskets,” algorithms, and AI-curated giving often misunderstand how people actually give.The future of donor-advised fundsWhy growth is likely to continue, but success will increasingly depend on flexibility, customization, and sponsors willing to move beyond lowest-common-denominator models.This episode is thoughtful, pragmatic, and refreshingly honest. It closes out the year by challenging assumptions while reinforcing why donor-advised funds, used well, remain a powerful tool for modern philanthropy.

🎧 ⁠https://amzn.to/3JACx8e⁠In this Giving Tuesday conversation, Ted welcomes Fred Kaynor, one of the most experienced leaders in donor-advised fund growth, donor engagement, and complex asset philanthropy. Fred shares practical guidance from decades in financial services and philanthropy, and offers a timely look at how donors, advisors, and nonprofits can navigate the busiest giving season of the year.Together, Ted and Fred explore how donor-advised funds simplify giving, unlock greater impact through tax-smart contributions, and help donors support charities with everything from appreciated stock to real estate. They also look at why younger donors expect deeper participation, mission-aligned investing, and less-restrictive grantmaking.Key themes in this episode include:1. The importance of Giving TuesdayWhy this global moment of generosity is an ideal time to talk about donor-advised funds, strategic giving, and the opportunity to plan before year-end pressures build.2. The flexibility and practicality of donor-advised fundsHow DAFs allow donors to contribute appreciated or complex assets now, receive tax benefits immediately, and take their time deciding where to grant.3. Next-generation expectationsHow younger philanthropists are shaping the future through intentional investing, collaborative giving, and trust-based approaches that empower nonprofits.4. Practical year-end guidance for donors and advisorsWhy early planning around non-cash contributions is essential, how advisors can guide clients through strategic giving, and how to avoid the December rush.5. How nonprofits can benefit and engage more effectivelyWhy donor-advised funds help charities by liquidating complex assets for them, and how nonprofits can position themselves to receive more support.6. Record levels of generosityFred highlights the millions of grants recommended each year and the billions flowing to nonprofits, reflecting the sustained activity of DAF donors.7. Impact before the grantHow mission-aligned investments allow philanthropic dollars to begin doing good from the moment they enter the account.This episode offers clear, practical insight into how donor-advised funds empower smarter giving and provide stability for nonprofits throughout the year. Whether you are a donor, advisor, or nonprofit leader, you’ll find guidance you can put to work immediately during the most important giving season.

Known for bridging research and real-world practice, Dr. Pasic offers a rare academic perspective on donor-advised funds (DAFs), regulation, and the future of generosity.Together, Ted and Amir explore how philanthropy is evolving, the role of research in shaping giving behavior, and why DAFs represent both continuity and quiet revolution in how we give.Key themes in this episode include:Separating tax benefits from generosity: How DAFs empower donors to make more deliberate and impactful giving decisions.The evolution of giving institutions: Why DAFs mark one of the few major structural changes in philanthropy in decades.The “5% lesson”: How regulatory intentions for private foundations became unintended ceilings, and what future DAF regulations could learn from it.Local vs. national DAFs: The balance between the convenience of large providers and the deep community connection of local foundations.Generosity as innovation: How giving cultures can unlock creativity, risk-taking, and freedom in societies worldwide.Dr. Pasic’s insights challenge us to rethink generosity as both a personal act and a civic force, one that strengthens communities, inspires innovation, and shapes the next generation of philanthropy.Whether you are a donor, advisor, policymaker, or nonprofit leader, this conversation offers data-driven perspective, intellectual depth, and hope for a more generous future.

She mentored me on the importance of this podcast, and on every episode, her passion for the fundraising profession, the success of all Boards of Directors, and all charities they serve were on display for all. Her unending drive for excellence flows through every episode.  She and I spoke at the same events around the world for many years. We were both invited to participate in the 2000 AFP Faculty Academy (photo) and served on several committees together.  When I reached out to her life partner Tom Ahern to ask if it would be ok to host this special edition of the Nonprofit Coach “In Celebration of Simone,” he said, “Of course, Ted!!! That would be wonderful.”  Simone was unfailingly kind and tough all at the same time. Simone was riveting, inspirational, and a speaker of truth. Future generations of donors and fundraisers alike will reference and rely upon the wisdom in her many books and lectures.   In this edition of the Nonprofit Coach, we share memories and the wisdom of Simone that future generations will benefit from. Join us, call in, and share as we gather “In Celebration of Simone.”

The holidays are prime time for giving and receiving. We focus on "year-end giving," knowing that it is the most opportune time for individuals to invest with gratitude in the issues they care about. But what happens after we receive those gifts? Yes, we thank our donors (and quickly!) but what happens next? Stewardship, one of the oldest concepts in philanthropy, is also the most neglected. Why we neglect it is complicated: too little time, limited resources, stretched staff -- all excuses that in fact are not donor-focused which is what we simply must be. Kay Sprinkel Grace will once again give us her holiday gift of insights, challenges and best practices: this year focused on being better stewards of our most important resource, our donors.

Born from the merger of Foundation Center and GuideStar, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it. Gabe leads a team responsible for telling Candid’s story, advancing its mission, and increasing adoption of its programs and products. Two of the biggest information-sharing forces in the nonprofit sector just combined to create a new organization. It’s called, appropriately, Candid, a merger between the Foundation Center and GuideStar. For funders and nonprofits trying to better understand opportunity within the sector, the Foundation Center collects information on more than 13 million grants offered by 155,000 grantmakers. For nonprofits and would-be donors trying to understand the efforts of other cause groups, GuideStar has built an open database with profiles on 2.7 million active organizations.  “The name Candid goes back to the roots of both organizations . . . and also speaks to our approach to [sharing] information,” says Bradford Smith, who will become the president of Candid after previously serving as the president at Foundation Center.

Small shop organizations often experience rapid professional staff turnover and high donor attrition which are merely side effects of what Jason believes is a much larger problem. This inter-sector conflict will not be won by those organizations who continue to mistakenly consider their scarcest resource to be donors with dollars. Jason Lewis, CFRE & AFP Master Trainer, provides the sector with an often needed contrarian voice, willing to question deeply ingrained beliefs and assumptions of how effective fundraising really works. Jason is also the host of The Fundraising Talent Podcast. Jason and his guests have an honest conversation about what it means to be a fundraising professional. The podcast provides listeners with a better understanding of what it means to fill one of the sector’s critically important yet least understood roles.

When asking becomes difficult, we often cite "donor fatigue" -- and those who turn us down accuse us of "banging a tin cup" and "begging" for money, time, or produce/service commitment. How can we change this? How, in this season of giving, can we elevate asking to the exceptional practice of engaging others in inspiring vision, shared values and an experience that will enhance their lives. Based in the idea that our work needs to be based in abundance, not scarcity, Kay Sprinkel Grace will bring us her holiday message about the ways in which asking is giving. Kay Sprinkel Grace will explore a new future for philanthropy in her annual program for the Nonprofit Coach with Ted Hart Radio Show.
