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)

Total reported DAF assets grew by seven percent over 2019's overall total, while fundraising and grantmaking each increased by over 35 percent. (n=211)

Smaller, emerging, and growing community foundations that may be focused on asset growth typically have a relatively high proportion of endowed assets. Larger community foundations, with an increased focus on diversifying their portfolios and providing flexible options for donors to engage in philanthropy, are more likely to have a higher proportion of pass-through funds.

Generally, as community foundation size increases, fundraising and grantmaking per capita also increases. Although larger community foundations tend to be based in more densely populated urban centers, they also achieve an economy of scale. In 2020, every asset size cohort experienced increases in these metrics, as many in the field both experienced increases in fundraising and deployed more funding than the previous year. (n=209)

Median change in assets: 9.0%
