#HalfMyDAF is thrilled to announce 234 new matching grants for 2023. Since 3/1 the community has granted over $17M to nonprofits-- our highest year ever.

In all, we've moved over $50M out to DAFs since 2020.

Huge thanks to the #HalfMyDAF community.

The #HalfMyDAF community has given away $11.6M to nonprofits since March, and over $80M since inception. Insane generosity.

Thoughts from my day job, if you're interested....

[David Risher @davidrisher]

Despite all the uncertainties, joining @lyft was one of the easiest and best decisions I ever made.

Here's my first CEO letter-- all about leading with purpose, obsessing over customers, growing the company and turning uncertainty into action.

Thrilled that @DemocracyFund has added matching funds to #HalfMyDaf to strengthen democracy. $2.1M in total matching funds now available for anyone who agrees to spend down their DAF by half.

[Democracy Fund @DemocracyFund]

We’re excited to announce that @Amalgamated_Fdn and Democracy Fund are collaborating on the #HalfMyDAF campaign by creating a new $500,000 democracy funding pool that will match the first $10,000 donated to a pro-democracy organization. https://t.co/5LJ9tTPqgR

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

US has a culture of philanthropy that's truly unique. A high % of America's wealthiest intend to donate substantial portions of their wealth rather than pass it all to heirs. I just wish that those with that intent wouldn't wait until death to get aggressive with their giving.

[HalfMyDAF @HalfMyDAF]

Aargh.

DAFs serve a function. They’re easy to use & for-sure help people give.

But when DAF sponsors misdirect, they remind us that they encourage hoarding, not giving.

Visit https://t.co/GYNCzGVpmq to give your DAF grants a chance to be matched. $6M in matches & counting!

[Dan Petegorsky @DanPetegorsky]

Schwab Charitable loves to tout the dollar value of their donor-advised fund grants. But check out the growth in their assets compared to their grants. Wonder why we call it hoarding?

A reminder. Tomorrow is the deadline for the first matching drawing!

[HalfMyDAF @HalfMyDAF]

#HalfMyDaf donors: please submit grants to https://t.co/GfeotIVDVi before Friday June 30 to qualify for our first matches of the year.

The community has granted over $38M so far. Let’s keep it going!

[Helen Flannery @HelenofIPS]

@GivingUSA was released this Tuesday, and the numbers are scary.

US giving has long been propped up by mega-donors. And this growing dependence on the wealthy has weakened our charities. For @Inequalityorg, I ask if the chickens have come home to roost. https://t.co/RPh8kGylcU

[HalfMyDAF @HalfMyDAF]

This is true. Goes for non-young people too.

[Scott Galloway @profgalloway]

Yes, I said it.

If you’re a young person, you should be outside, at the office, at cafes, in parks, at coworking spaces, gyms, clubs, bars, friends’ living rooms, making connections, risking awkwardness & rejection, forming friendships & work relationships and finding love IRL.
