As Bader tells it, DonorsTrust has gotten a definite boost from fears of so-called 'cancel culture' coming to the DAF world. "The fact that Fidelity Charitable (and some community foundations) [are] refusing to honor grant recommendations (or at least slowing down the process) to various 'conservative policy' groups, combined with the recent decision by the Goldman Sachs DAF to cease grantmaking to all perceived 'policy' groups—on left and right—has resulted in a noticeable uptick of account rollovers from these groups," Bader said. The concern is that such a pattern could spread further afield to Schwab, Vanguard and the like. "Fortunately," Bader said, "in this market, there are alternative choices, and DonorsTrust is benefiting from that."
