DAF Activated

๐จRight now, over 17 billion Canadian dollars sit in Donor-Advised Funds across the country.
Here is the reality: individual DAF holders are making isolated, siloed decisions about where to place their funds. At the same time, they have little to no say over the investment strategies growing that capital behind the scenes.
The current system wasn’t designed to solve big, systemic problems. It was built for static wealth management. But what if we imagined something different?
- What if DAF holders coordinated to tackle complex issues collectively?
- What if DAF providers offered true impact investment options?
- What if DAF capital was put to work creating impact today?
We built DAF Activated to stop asking “what if” and start building the answers together.
Registration is now officially open.
This is not a passive webinar or standard panel. DAF Activated is an interactive, hands-on gathering designed for direct collaboration. To maintain actionable working sessions and high-value connection, attendance is capped at 100 seats.
These seats are reserved for:
- DAF Fundholders & Philanthropists looking for proactive options aligned with real philanthropic goals.
- Foundation Leaders & Executives navigating the space between fiduciary duty and genuine impact.
- Impact Investment Professionals building the infrastructure for collective capital.
If youโre looking to build solutions with like-minded folks, your voice needs to be at this table. Spaces are intentionally limited to ensure our working sessions remain collaborative, focused, and actionable.
