General

Two new recommendations coming out of Washington have the potential to bring about game-changing philanthropic reforms: the U.S. Treasury Department has recommended establishing payout requirements for Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), a response to the current warehousing of billions of charitable dollars in these popular philanthropic vehicles. It is also proposing limits on how private foundations can use DAFs to meet their own payout requirements.
