Get more from your giving: Transform how you manage your wealth and support nonprofits with philanthropic investments starting at $500K.

As uncertainty surrounds many nonprofits, you could become your favorite charity’s hero through long-term, strategic charitable investments. Discover how in Vanguard Charitable’s latest donor-advised fund report, Why Giving Matters.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows for the donation of assets to a philanthropic account and offers immediate tax benefits. These assets can then grow tax-free, generating more charitable dollars to be given to nonprofits. This 2025 study reveals how DAF donors leverage their accounts to be consistent, recurring supporters of charities while enjoying the tax benefits of giving.

In addition to presenting over a decade’s worth of donor behavior insights, the report also features survey responses from more than 1,700 charities nationwide that speak to the importance of recurring giving for nonprofits.

Why Giving Matters offers powerful insights for donors with philanthropic accounts of more than $500K, including:

• The nonprofit perspective on recurring giving and its impact
• Nonprofits’ preferred frequency and timing of gifts and how preferences vary across the sector
• The role of recurring donors’ support beyond monetary donations

“When donors choose to give recurring gifts, it gives us the opportunity to build relationships with them, educate them on issues affecting the cause they are donating to, and create advocates for our cause.” - Allison Hein, Development Manager, Willis Dady Homeless Services
