Impact Advisors Network

The Impact Advisors Network (IAN) is Daylight's community of practice, bringing together advisors committed to strengthening their competence, sharing knowledge, and advancing philanthropic advising. 

Through continuing education, practical resources, expert-led programming, and peer connections, IAN helps members stay informed, navigate complex client situations, and strengthen their work across philanthropy and wealth management.
​
As an IAN member, you'll gain access to:​
  • Advisor Resources: A curated library of articles, templates, tools, and best practices shared by fellow advisors to help you strengthen and refine your practice. 
  • Exclusive Programming: Members-only interactive events focused on timely and relevant topics, featuring industry leaders and members of the Daylight community. IAN members also receive exclusive access to recordings of all Daylight public webinars.
  • Continuing Education: Earn CE credits for the Certified Impact Philanthropy Advisor (IPA), CFP®, CAP®, CFRE, CSPGCM, CPWA®, CIMA®, and RMA®. CE-eligible programs are available exclusively to IAN members.
  • Ethics Education for Certified IPAs: Daylight offers ethics education specifically designed around the ethical responsibilities and real-world challenges of philanthropic advising for IAN members. Unlike general professional ethics courses, this education examines situations that arise when advisors help clients navigate philanthropic decisions.
  • In-Person Connections: Build meaningful relationships with Daylight alumni through global convenings and local meet-ups.
