Beyond DAF intermediaries, the fund appears across a broad mix of nonprofits and institutions, from health and education to faith-based and cultural organizations. The fund’s stated purpose is to strategically invest in the communities it serves by supporting nonprofits that expand opportunities and improve quality of life through donor-advised funds and targeted grant programs. Its focus areas include Arts, Culture & Museums, Education & Schools, Environment & Animals, Faith-based programs, Medicine & Science, Foundations/Capacity Building, Social Services, and Food Security. The overall picture is of a national funder that uses unrestricted or flexible support as a core tool, with both intermediary giving and direct grants appearing in the recent record.
