Video: $200 Billion Is Sitting in Charity Accounts. DAFs vs Cause Coins
There's over 200 billion dollars sitting in charity accounts right now, not reaching anyone. Here's why, and a different way. A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a charity account: you put money in, get the tax break right away, and recommend grants to charities whenever you choose. They're popular, flexible, and many donors do give actively. But here's the structural catch: unlike private foundations, DAFs aren't required to pay out, so the money can sit for years, even indefinitely, while the tax deduction has already been taken. Hundreds of billions are parked right now. A cause coin works the opposite way. Nothing sits. WYDE is the Impact Exchange where causes go public, and $EAT, for ending hunger, is the first cause on it. Activity funds the cause continuously and immediately, anyone can verify the money moving, and you're a member who helps direct it, not a donor who waits. A DAF can hold charitable money for years before it helps anyone. A cause funds the work right now, and you can watch it happen. ▶ See funding that doesn't wait: https://eat.ong
