DAFs at community foundations tend to be highly active grantmaking vehicles; more than one-third of all respondents reported distribution rates from DAFs in excess of 10 percent. With typically higher proportions of pass-through funds available for granting, larger community foundations tend to report higher distribution rates overall.
Sample size for DAF distribution rates are slightly smaller (n=157) than for the whole foundation (n=193).
