High median DAF flow rates in every asset cohort reflect high rates of grantmaking that keep pace with fundraising.

More than one-third of 2020 Annual Survey respondents reported DAF flow rates of over 100%, granting more from their DAFs than those funds brought in as gifts. (n=179)

The "flow rate" of DAFs compares a given year's grantmaking total with its gift total, dividing grants by gifts. This metric may help capture the activity of donors who contribute to their DAF and grant from it that same year.
