Fundraising data for years has shown the number of donors declining even though revenue increased more often than not. However, new albeit limited data shows donor-advised fund (DAF) users bucked the trend. Data from a new study shows the number of DAF donors increased between 2019 and 2022. During 2023, however, 25% of organizations studied had slightly fewer DAF donors than the prior year, while 75% had declines in the number of non-DAF donors.

I think that perfect solidarity is almost impossible to find in any community, with any issue. Nonetheless, in reflection on my three projects, I will rank the solidarity of the issues I work with from greatest to least. I find the most solidarity has to do with the protection of children’s identity, security, and privacy online.
