- Where Do Philanthropy Advisors Come From? | Daylighthttps://lydiamoh.wixsite.com/daylightadvisors/daylight-in-practice/where-do-philanthropy-advisors-come-from?skipRedirect=true&ssrOnly=true&extendedTimeout=true&debug=false
Where Do Philanthropy Advisors Come From? Papa, Where Do Philanthropy Advisors Come From? By Tony Macklin Well, son, sometimes a donor couple loves a cause very much. So much they want to put a lot of money into it… OK, maybe a child hasn’t asked you that question. But the topic comes up in the Daylight team’s conversations with philanthropy professionals. Our answer has been something like “from more than a dozen allied professions like nonprofit management, grantmaking, gift planning, and financial services.” It turns out philanthropy advisors’ backgrounds are far more diverse. During a packed session about philanthropic services at the 2023 DAF Giving Summit , we asked attendees to share their previous three jobs or roles. Forty two percent of them came from the types of philanthropy jobs you might expect: But the larger percentage listed backgrounds as varied as cowboy, bartender, ecological designer, letter carrier, marketing coordinator, social worker, and domestic violence attorney: Wildly mixed backgrounds can be a strength in the field of philanthropic advising. The diverse lived experiences will benefit clients and advisors working collaboratively. And different professions bring new angles to identifying and solving problems, involving people in decision-making, structuring client services, and more. The mix also presents challenges. The primary one, often reported by employers, is an advisor’s limited experience with the broad range of philanthropic motivations, resources, vehicles, strategies, and social impact tools clients use. To be sure, some advisors make a living only knowing about grantmaking to charities or only working in an issue such as education. But most private sector employers, and an increasing number of foundations, need generalists who can comfortably navigate multiple options, often without judging the client’s final choices. What’s Next? Over the past 18 months, Daylight team members have been developing a standardized set of competencies for philanthropic advisors, mapping where professional development programs meet those competencies, and asking advisors where they rank themselves on a scale from novice to expert. And, no surprise, we have ideas for filling gaps with new programming and research. Stay tuned for more information about our competency mapping and new programming in April!

- Lydia Oh | Daylight
Lydia Oh Lydia Oh (She/Her) Manager, Programs & Marketing lydia@daylightadvisors.com Lydia’s contributions to Daylight’s program and marketing efforts stem from a deep commitment to community and care that is only growing, demonstrated at work and at home. Her leadership in philanthropy is no surprise, having most recently worked with Dien at the Center for Philanthropy and Social Impact at the American College of Financial Services, where she supported the Center in programming, research and publications, and marketing and social media. Lydia welcomed the chance to join the Center, and now Daylight, to further extend her work with donors that started out at Missio Seminary and then The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Throughout all of these roles she’s come to appreciate, and draw out, the essence of giving: that it’s about so much more than the ask; it’s about connection with people; hearing their stories and supporting new ones; activating what matters to them and the change they seek. Lydia personally practices many different ways of giving and creating connection, which was one of the things she studied upon recently completing the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® certification (CAP®), as a member of the latest Advisors of Color cohort. She is very active in both the Korean-American community and her church, where she helps lead the women’s group and community growth group. Lydia is a committed friend and advocate to the families and mothers in her extended community, and she lives in the Philadelphia suburbs with her husband and two young children. LinkedIn
- Daylight | Philanthropic Advising Research
Who are philanthropic advisors? What services do they provide? What challenges do they face in their work? What kinds of support and resources could help them generate more impact in their communities? Daylight's Philanthropic Advisor: Professional Development, Practice, and Knowledge Gaps is the first comprehensive report to examine the unique experiences and professional needs of today's philanthropic advisors. U.S. Philanthropic Advisors 2024: Professional Development, Practice, and Knowledge Gaps Who are philanthropic advisors? What services do they provide? What challenges do they face in their work? What kinds of support and resources could help them generate more impact in their communities? Here's a look at understanding the unique experiences and professional needs of today's philanthropic advisors. Download Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Philanthropic advisors play a critical role within the philanthropic ecosystem, yet their professional experiences remain largely unmapped. Little is known about who today’s advisors are, how they learned the craft, whom they serve, and how they carry out their work to generate impact. This research is the first of several initiatives to better understand the experiences and needs of philanthropic advisors as crucial yet understudied agents of social change. The topics of inquiry include the nature of their current work and impact; whom they serve and how they do so; their experience in the field, including role tenure, salary, and supervisory responsibilities; how they stay abreast of charitable trends and apply new tools; and the specific skills and knowledge areas they seek to develop further. We conducted an online survey with 258 philanthropic advisors living in or working with clients in the United States. The term “philanthropic advisors” was defined broadly to include anyone involved in navigating the who, what, why, and how of using resources for philanthropy and social impact, either as a full-time job or as part of the role of a wealth advisor, gift planner, or other profession. KEY FINDINGS The field is becoming more diverse. Over half (51%) of the newcomers to philanthropic advising, defined as having fewer than 10 years of experience, were Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). New advisors were mostly female (65%) and in their 30s (38%). Advisors in their 30s are leading diversity efforts. Respondents aged 30–39 reported serving more BIPOC and/or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBTQ+) clients than their colleagues in other age cohorts. Respondents are moving billions in charitable dollars. Collectively, the respondents helped to facilitate almost $13 billion in charitable giving last year, with an individual average of $50 million. The largest category (40%) helped to facilitate between $1 million and $10 million, and the second largest category (28%) helped to facilitate between $10 million and $100 million. Donor-advised funds (DAFs) remain popular throughout the sector. Both new and senior advisors named DAFs among their most commonly used charitable tools. They were the most or second-most popular charitable tool across employer types. Explore which advisors guide donors toward DAFs—and what sets them apart. With experience comes confidence—with some exceptions. When asked to rate their knowledge levels in key skill areas, respondents reported levels of expertise that generally increased with experience, with the exception of two broad skill areas: 1) financial capital development and 2) diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), intercultural, and wealth dynamics. Growth as a philanthropic advisor comes primarily from learning on the job. When asked to rate several educational resources, such as professional development programs or memberships in associations, all respondent groups described learning on the job as the most helpful to their development as advisors. VOICE OF THE ADVISOR Tony Macklin, Director of Daylight's Advisor Practice, shares how we define philanthropic advisors.

What trends are influencing gift planning? What trends are influencing gift planning? By Megan Bell and Dien Yuen At Daylight, we monitor trends in philanthropic advising and listen closely to advisors and gift planners working with clients and donors on the frontlines. One way we do this is by connecting some of the dots we see and asking advisors how it might apply in their day-to-day work and what's on their minds. In April, we asked attendees at the Northern California Planned Giving Council, "What trends in philanthropy or gift planning are on your minds?" We received over 60 responses written on notecards. They can be grouped into six general themes: giving styles and trends, gift planning, DAFs, demographics, AI/Tech, and concerns over the current political climate. Below are examples of what the participants shared. Do they resonate with you? We've shared our "Adapting to 8 Trends in Philanthropic Advising" presentation to over 600 non-profit and for-profit advisors in many small gatherings. The responses vary based on geography, advisor mix, client or donor sophistication level, etc. One consistent theme is that advisors are looking to broaden their definition of philanthropic planning. Adapting to 8 Trends in Philanthropic Advising Episode 1: Changing Client Base Episode 2: Evolving Definitions Episode 3: Evolving Vehicles Episode 4: Questioning Norms Episode 5: Growing Mistrust Episode 6: Wealth Planning Episode 7: AI for Good Episode 8: The Messy Marketplace
