We’ve covered the basics of DAFs in a couple of TGG’s free issues—what they are, why donors love them, how to signal that you’re ready to receive them, and how to cultivate the donors behind them. Today, we go deeper.

This masterclass is for development officers who are ready to build a real DAF strategy. For those who want not just to passively receive DAF grants but to actively identify and cultivate DAF donors. We’ll get to the solicitation piece in upcoming issues.
