The American College of Financial Services is launching a donor-advised fund professional certificate program.
The in-person training program aims to empower staff at DAF-sponsoring organizations to create a shared standard of knowledge and competency for the industry, according to the announcement. Registration for the inaugural edition, to be held April 8 and 9 at The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, is now open on the American College website.
Attendees will learn the “complete picture” of day-to-day DAF program management via educational sessions on the evolving philanthropic landscape. The sessions cover such topics as understanding motivations to give, identifying assets to donate, managing gift acceptance and effective grant-making principles.
