### Use your investments to fuel renewable energy projects that lead to a clean and equitable world for all.

#### **WHAT'S INSIDE?**

##### *The Rise of DAFs*

Six of the 10 most successful fundraising organizations in the Chronicle’s newest Philanthropy 400 rankings were donor-advised-fund sponsors, including organizations affiliated with the financial-services giants Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, Schwab, and Vanguard.

##### Range of Assets 

A variety of assets can be donated to DAFs, non-cash assets such as:

- Stock
- Real Estate
- Personal Property

##### Business as a Force for Good

Accomplishing ambitions will take an extraordinary effort by all sectors in society.  Businesses play a large and important role in the process. Society’s most challenging problems cannot be solved by government and nonprofits alone.

##### Opportunities of DAFs

While  DAFs themselves are a simple and flexible tool, misaligned incentives in the DAF marketplace have created a largely stagnant pool of capital that is not being deployed in a timely manner to make the world a better place.

##### Customizable Investing

Donor Advised Funds give donors the opportunity to choose how they want their donations to be spent, similar to a personal philanthropy. The capital in DAFs can be allocated and spent over a  prolonged time period.

##### 10Power: A Success Story

Based in San Francisco, California and with operations centralized in Haiti, 10Power is focused on creating sustainable development through renewable energy with a gender empowerment lens.
