Description

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are one of the fastest-growing segments of the Canadian Charitable and Philanthropic sector. Although we believe the Canadian DAF market is 5-10 years behind the U.S. DAF market, we believe the Canadian market follows the same growth trajectory.

This Report provides a detailed look into the Canadian Donor-Advised Fund market and the U.S. as a proxy for Canada. We investigate the key characteristics of DAFs, their pros and cons, the current Canadian environment for the product (with U.S .DAFs as a comparative reference), and a case study of eleven of the largest Canadian DAFs.
