Emergency Grants from Donor-Advised Funds
During and after a crisis, don't overlook grants from Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). DAFs may be a potential source of emergency grants for your organization. That’s because experience shows that during economic downturns, giving through DAFs remains strong.
Find helpful advice in our Guide to Seeking Emergency Grants from Donor-Advised Funds. You may also watch our webinar recording featuring insights from a Donor Services Officer from The Columbus Foundation about making the most of grants from donor-advised funds.
