  • I learn best when... | Daylighthttps://lydiamoh.wixsite.com/daylightadvisors/daylight-in-practice/i-learn-best-when...?skipRedirect=true&ssrOnly=true&extendedTimeout=true&debug=false

    I learn best when... The Best Learning Environment Has…Snacks?!?! By Crystal Thompkins To kick off last month’s information sessions about the Certified Impact Philanthropy Advisor (IPA) program, we asked attendees to complete the phrase “I learn best when________.” The top responses from attendees indicated that the best learning happens In open discussions with others Through practice and repetition With engaging topics and content With snacks Others shared they learn best when they can share and train others what they’ve learned. Some responses were more about the ideal settings, such as “not being interrupted” and “relaxed and calm.” Daylight and IPA check most of these boxes for a great learning experience. One of Daylight's guiding principles is creating an interactive learning environment that promotes practical application and embraces sharing ideas. In designing the Impact Philanthropy Advisor program, we incorporated many of the best principles or practices for adult learning. IPA brings individual learners together in a collaborative, peer-to-peer learning environment that combines self-study with group discussion. Learners will be able to apply the content in real-time by working through case studies and considering the implications for their clients and practice. The learning experience is guided by facilitators who will make the material and discussions instructive and engaging. That’s the good news. The bad news? Everyone must bring their own snacks. At least for now… ©2025 Daylight Advisors, Inc.

  • What does it take to be a great philanthropic advisor? | Daylighthttps://lydiamoh.wixsite.com/daylightadvisors/daylight-in-practice/what-it-takes-to-be-a-great-philanthropic-advisor?skipRedirect=true&ssrOnly=true&extendedTimeout=true&debug=false

    What does it take to be a great philanthropic advisor? What does it take to be a great philanthropic advisor? By Tony Macklin Every week, the Daylight team meets with leaders of wealth management firms, banks, foundations, nonprofits, consulting firms, and more. We hear them trying to respond to four trends: The increasing number of wealth creators and inheritors who want to focus part of their financial and estate planning on philanthropy. The increasing amount of money being placed in donor-advised funds and foundations. The expanding ways people achieve social impact, going beyond charitable giving to use impact investments, advocacy, crowdfunding, and other tools. Advisors and clients alike hoping to find ways to make a difference in the complex challenges our communities and planet face. They’re often expanding and refining their roles as philanthropic advisors—people who help clients and donors navigate the why, who, what, where, and how of philanthropy and social impact. But the field of philanthropic advising is a messy mix of professional backgrounds, business models, skillsets, services, and success metrics. To help shed…well…daylight on that mess, we’re releasing a draft philanthropic advising competency model this summer. The model will describe attitudes, knowledge, and skills essential for succeeding in philanthropic advising roles. It should clarify recruitment, hiring, performance measurement, and professional development plans for employers, employees, and solo practitioners. We’ll base the model on dozens of job descriptions, interviews with a variety of employers, and competency maps from organizations such as the UHNW Institute (see graphic), Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy, CFP Board, and SkillsFuture Singapore. Our project partner is the LaCire team who bring deep experience in developing effective and equitable human capital policies and procedures. And we’re fortunate to have the expertise and leadership of our volunteer working group and advisory board members. What does being a highly competent philanthropic advisor mean in this quickly-evolving world? Stay tuned to Daylight’s blog and social media for a publication and webinar this summer. And if you have questions about the project, don’t hesitate to contact me at tony@daylightadvisors.com . ©2025 Daylight Advisors, Inc.

  • 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%). Learn more about philanthropic advisor entrepreneurs . 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.

  • Singapore Gives — But Not Always: Here’s Why | Daylighthttps://lydiamoh.wixsite.com/daylightadvisors/daylight-in-practice/singapore-gives-but-not-always-heres-why?skipRedirect=true&ssrOnly=true&extendedTimeout=true&debug=false

    Singapore Gives — But Not Always: Here’s Why Singapore Gives — But Not Always: Here’s Why By Dien Yuen Earlier this month, I completed a training on philanthropy and social impact with a group of learners from Singapore’s wealth management and nonprofit sectors. As part of the session, we explored why people in Singapore choose to give, and why they sometimes hold back. Why People Give Six key themes emerged as we discussed why people in Singapore give. Generosity here extends far beyond charity - it is an expression of purpose, identity, and legacy. 1. Altruism & Social Impact The dominant motivation centers on helping others and improving the world. People give to multiply goodness, pay it forward, help underprivileged communities, and to uplift others. The responses reflect a deep-seated belief in social responsibility and the transformative power of collective good — giving as a means to create positive change. 2. Financial & Pragmatic Factors A secondary cluster focuses on strategic or rational benefits: tax deductions and reductions, corporate branding, and funding innovation. Here, giving is seen as both smart and impactful — aligning philanthropy with business or financial stewardship. 3. Legacy & Family Values Many view giving as an act of legacy — teaching children, honoring loved ones, or to instill good values for the next generation. This cluster highlights intergenerational philanthropy, where giving becomes a way to pass on moral and social capital. 4. Personal Fulfillment & Meaning For some, giving fulfills a personal or emotional need: feeling grateful, finding purpose, or feeding the soul. 5. Religious & Spiritual Roots Faith-based reasons, such as afterlife blessings , karma , or emptying for regeneration, play a meaningful role, underscoring how religion anchors generosity in moral duty and divine reciprocity. 6. Cultural & Moral Influences Some respondents connect giving to upbringing, tradition, or cultural expectation, especially within Asian or collectivist contexts — giving as a reflection of who we are raised to be: part of Asian culture , custodian for the future , or social theories of reciprocity and gift exchange . Why People Do Not Give Learners shared a range of personal, social, and practical reasons for why people in Singapore do not give. Seven main themes emerged, showing that hesitation stems from emotional, informational, and situational barriers. 1. Trust and Credibility Gaps A recurring barrier is distrust in charitable institutions. Many learners noted uncertainty about how funds are managed or whether donations truly reach the intended beneficiaries. Comments such as “don’t trust charities” and “lack of credibility (data)” reflect deeper concerns about transparency and accountability — highlighting the need for clearer communication and tangible evidence of impact. 2. Financial Constraints Giving may also be constrained by economic realities. Respondents mentioned “not enough money (yet)” and a “scarcity mindset” , reflecting the tension between wanting to help and needing to prioritize personal financial security. Some also perceive that some contributions would be insignificant compared to wealthier donors — a belief that diminishes motivation. 3. Awareness and Knowledge Gaps Some mentioned that people don’t know where or how to give. This indicates that information accessibility and simple giving pathways could significantly increase participation. 4. Lack of Personal Connection or Relevance Some people don’t give because charitable causes feel distant or unrelatable ( “cause does not relate to me” ). When individuals don’t see a clear connection between their values and a cause, motivation wanes. 5. Structural and Convenience Barriers Practical barriers also play a role. The comment “operational hurdle to give — not easy to donate” illustrates how inefficient systems or complex donation processes can discourage action, even among those who want to give. 6. Social and Cultural Influences Giving is also shaped by social context and cultural expectations. Phrases like “my family does not appreciate” and “kiasu mentality” reflect social norms that discourage giving or prioritize self-preservation over generosity. This indicates a social permission gap, where community attitudes can either enable or inhibit giving behavior. 7. Fatigue and Negative Experiences Some respondents suggested signs of donor fatigue or emotional burnout. Prior negative experiences — such as feeling unappreciated, over-solicited, or disappointed — can lead to disengagement. The Balance of Heart and Head Together, these insights paint a portrait of giving in Singapore that is both empathetic and evaluative. People give when it aligns with their sense of purpose and trust; they hesitate when these are absent. The future of philanthropy in Singapore, therefore, lies in bridging this gap — fostering trust, transparency, and personal connection that turn good intentions into sustained generosity.
