Back to 2025 Raise On Demand

DAF gifts have often been left out of peer-to-peer and event fundraising—not because donors didn’t want to give, but because the process was too complicated. Without technology to capture DAF gifts in real time or navigate the legal nuances of when these gifts are allowed, nonprofits have missed out on a critical revenue stream in some of the most dynamic fundraising formats.

This session will explore how this innovation not only expands fundraising potential but also harnesses the unique strengths of DAFs—larger gift sizes, donor loyalty, and tax-efficient giving—within the peer-to-peer and event landscape.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how to maximize the impact of DAFs in peer-to-peer and event fundraising.
  • Explore real-world examples of organizations successfully incorporating DAFs into peer-to-peer and event fundraising.
  • Discover how DAF donors differ from other supporters.
