If you've ever wished your giving could be both simpler and more strategic, there's a powerful tool worth knowing about: the donor-advised fund, or DAF for short.Generosity isn't just about how much you give—it's about the heart behind it. As Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”Wise stewardship allows us to align our giving with God's purposes, using tools that help us maximize our Kingdom impact. A donor-advised fund—when used rightly—can help you do both: give joyfully and steward resources efficiently.What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?Think of a DAF as a charitable checking account designed to support the causes you care about. You contribute cash, stock, or other assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to ministries or charities on your timetable.In other words, it separates the act of giving from the act of distributing. You might contribute during a high-income year or before selling an asset to take advantage of tax benefits, while taking time to decide where those dollars should go prayerfully.Behind the scenes, your DAF is managed by a sponsoring organization. At FaithFi, we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—one of the largest and most trusted Christian providers, founded by Larry Burkett and Ron Blue. NCF handles the record-keeping, issues the grants, and provides online tools to manage your giving.Suppose you plan to sell a business or a piece of real estate that would normally result in a significant capital gain. By donating it to your donor-advised fund before the sale, you can avoid paying capital gains tax, allowing more of the donation to go directly to Kingdom purposes.You receive an immediate tax deduction for the full value of your gift since it's considered an irrevocable charitable contribution. The funds can be invested for potential growth while you prayerfully decide which ministries to support—or you can give immediately.When you're ready, you simply recommend a grant, such as $10,000, to your church or a mission organization. The DAF sponsor verifies the charity and then sends the gift—either in your name or anonymously.The Benefits of a Donor-Advised FundDonor-advised funds have become the fastest-growing vehicle for charitable giving in America, and for good reason. They combine flexibility, simplicity, and intentionality—all with a focus on Kingdom impact.Here are some of the key advantages:Simplicity – One contribution can fund all your charitable giving, with a single tax receipt and one dashboard to track every grant.Tax Efficiency – Receive your deduction when you contribute, not when you give. Donating appreciated assets can help avoid capital gains taxes, increasing the amount that goes to ministry.Flexibility – Give now and decide later where the funds should go, allowing generosity even as you discern where God is leading.Legacy Planning – Name successors—such as children or grandchildren—to carry on your legacy of generosity.Focus on Mission – Since the administration is handled for you, you can focus your energy on prayerfully deciding where to give.Important Limitations to ConsiderNo giving tool is perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:Irrevocability – Once you contribute to a DAF, it's a completed gift—you can't take the funds back.Qualified Recipients – Grants can only be made to IRS-approved charities, not individuals or political causes.Timing of Impact – Funds can remain in the account for years, which may delay charitable impact.At FaithFi, we encourage believers to use DAFs for timely generosity rather than indefinite storage. A DAF is meant to organize your giving, not to hold back what God has already called you to release.Why FaithFi Recommends NCFThere are many donor-advised fund providers—but not all share your faith commitments. That's why we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF).NCF doesn't just process gifts; they walk with donors in prayer and biblical wisdom. Their Giving Funds simplify generosity, reduce tax burdens, and amplify Kingdom impact. They can even accept complex, non-cash gifts, such as real estate, business interests, or agricultural assets.More importantly, NCF's team seeks to help every believer become a joyful, generous steward who advances the Gospel through wise giving.To learn more or to open your own Giving Fund, visit FaithFi.com/NCF. You can set up your fund in just minutes. And if you'd like a trusted financial advisor to guide you in the process, visit FindaCKA.com.At the end of the day, a donor-advised fund is just a tool—but in the hands of a faithful steward, it becomes a powerful way to partner with God in His work.When our giving flows from gratitude and trust, every dollar becomes a declaration: God owns it all, and we are His stewards.That's what it means to give with joy, wisdom, and eternal purpose.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband was recently diagnosed with a serious health condition, and we're trying to decide whether it's wise to downsize our home. We currently owe about $198,000, but we're also looking at another house for $137,500. With today's interest rates, we could do a 15-, 20-, or 30-year loan. If my husband's income were to go away, would it be smarter to stay where we are or move to the smaller home with a lower payment?I'm 61 and wondering whether I should withdraw money from my 401(k) to pay off my car loan instead of taking out a new one. I've been looking at my budget and income, and I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think?My husband recently passed away. He had an IRA worth a little under $70,000, and I have one too. My financial advisor suggested that I roll his IRA into mine—can I do that, and would that be the best approach? Also, our home is in an irrevocable living trust. Am I allowed to sell it, or does it have to stay in the trust?Our term life insurance policy is set to expire soon. We could cash it out or roll it into a whole life policy, but we already have enough life insurance. With a child heading to college in about a year and a half, we're wondering if there's a smart way to put that money into savings for college without taking a big tax hit.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Accra High Court has granted former NSA boss, Osei Assibey Antwi, bail set at GHS 800 million with six sureties to be justified. He pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him

Group celebrating 25 years of grantmaking Seamus Carroll is convinced his daughter's journey from Haldane student to Apple iPhone designer began with Destination Imagination, the global problem-solving competition for K-12 students. Haldane's program introduced her to skills such as soldering and wiring, he said, setting her on a path that led to studying electrical engineering as an undergraduate and computer science as a graduate student. In 2014, Haldane middle schoolers involved in Destination Imagination won a state championship before traveling to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville to compete in the global finals. The students' success is owed in part to the Haldane School Foundation, a group of can-do parents who, since the organization's founding in 2000, have raised and donated over $1.5 million to support Destination Imagination and other enrichment programs spearheaded by the district's teachers. With a new logo and branding, the group will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Nov. 8 during its annual fall fundraiser at the Glynwood Center in Philipstown. Carroll and other early board members say the nonprofit's founding occurred during a time of frugal school boards and tax-weary property owners. However, with families moving into Philipstown who sought extracurricular experiences for their children, a group of residents decided to raise private donations to supplement Haldane's budgeted programming. Their efforts enabled 57 Haldane seniors to travel to New Orleans to help Habitat for Humanity rebuild in the area following Hurricane Katrina, brought in educators from a Colorado wolf sanctuary and underwrote a weeklong program for teachers who learn about the Hudson River and apply their knowledge to classroom activities. "There's a bunch of people who had the means to go to a private school, and probably would have, if some of these things didn't materialize," said Joe Curto, an early board member. When the foundation began, according to Curto, the Haldane board was "black and white" about the curriculum - "If it was good enough for me, it's good enough for you" - and the budget battles were brutal. In June 2000, the month the foundation incorporated, district voters rejected, by a 916-666 vote, a proposal to spend $24.4 million on a dedicated high school building. (Voters approved the facility in 2002.) Claudio Marzollo, already "involved in too many things," remembers declining his wife's invitation to attend one of the first organizational meetings for the foundation. "I said, 'If I go, I'm going to get roped into doing something.' " His wife returned home as the vice president, and Marzollo eventually joined the board. The group began holding fundraisers, such as a wine tasting at The Chalet and a Snow Ball. A Harvest Ball at Incredible Caterers on Route 9D was the first big event, said Curto, with live music and an open bar. "We raised a ton of money, and then it became an institution," he said. Becoming legitimate in the eyes of Haldane's administration and faculty took some time, said Carroll, but they eventually welcomed the foundation "as a source of funds to do good stuff that they couldn't get in the budget." Grants, which are awarded in the spring and fall, focus on experiences rather than computers and software, which are less durable than a memory. "It was trying to get the kids to do things that they wouldn't get to do without the funding," said Carroll. "There were a lot of field trips that wouldn't have happened if the foundation didn't pay for them." Grants usually total around $60,000 annually, said Kristen Sherman, the current president. Along with field trips to destinations like Washington, D.C., and Frost Valley, recent awards include $3,500 to cover printing costs for The Haldane Outlook, a student-run newspaper, and $4,900 for a middle school robotics club. (Editor's note: The Highlands Current received five grants from the foundation between 2018 and 2024 to support its Student Jou...

The October 29 edition of the AgNet News Hour focused on the future of California agriculture, featuring two dynamic guests — Dominique Mégret, CEO of Ecorobotix, and Hannah Johnson, Director of Industry for the California Ag Tech Alliance. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill explored how automation, artificial intelligence, and state-supported innovation are reshaping the landscape of farming from Switzerland to the Central Valley. Papagni opened the show with a call to “take care of today's farming before tomorrow's farming,” stressing that growers must survive regulatory and water challenges before they can embrace full automation. That theme carried through both interviews as the hosts connected global innovation with California's local realities. Dominique Mégret joined live from FIRA USA in Woodland, introducing Ecorobotix's revolutionary ultra-high-precision sprayer. The system uses cameras and AI to identify individual weeds, applying herbicide only where needed — reducing chemical use by up to 95 percent. “We call it plant-by-plant crop care,” Mégret explained. “We replace active ingredients with artificial intelligence.” The company's flagship 20-foot sprayer, guided by computer vision and controlled from behind a tractor, sprays every four centimeters with pinpoint accuracy, allowing growers to cut input costs, labor needs, and environmental impact all at once. Ecorobotix recently raised $150 million in funding to expand its U.S. operations and announced plans to begin assembling products in America next year. “This isn't about replacing people,” Mégret said. “It's about giving them better tools and restoring balance between productivity and sustainability.” In the second half of the program, Hannah Johnson joined from FIRA USA after leading the successful Readley Ag Conference earlier this month. As head of the new California Ag Tech Alliance, Johnson described how a $15 million state grant will bring together universities, growers, and tech startups to accelerate innovation while protecting farm jobs. “There's no intent to replace skilled farm workers,” Johnson said. “It's about making their jobs safer, higher-quality, and more connected to technology.” Johnson emphasized the importance of developing a workforce that bridges traditional farming and advanced technology. “The biggest thing farmers need right now is people who understand both sides — how farms operate and how to make this technology work in the field,” she said. She also shared her personal mission, shaped by her own family's experience of losing their farm: “I don't want any other farmer to go through that. This is my way to give back and keep California agriculture alive.” Papagni and McGill wrapped the show with optimism for a sector balancing heritage with high-tech change. “From Ecorobotix's Swiss precision to Hannah Johnson's California leadership,” Papagni said, “it's clear the next generation of agriculture is already here — and it's growing stronger every day.”

What if real estate could rebuild lives while building lasting wealth? In this 45-minute episode of Invest2FI, host Craig Curelop welcomes back real estate investor Jim Boad for an in-depth conversation about scaling success through trust, discipline, and purpose. Jim shares how he pivoted during COVID from struggling rentals to sober-living group homes that blend community impact with strong returns.  Operating in a small Washington market near Olympia, he explains his model of five-bedroom, three-bath homes renting for $700 per bed, often partnered with recovery clinics and DOC reentry programs that prepay several months in advance.  Jim also discusses leveraging $100K–$200K grants, launching a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and working with private lenders at two points and ten percent interest to fund and scale 18 new builds. This episode reveals how purpose-driven investing can generate both financial freedom and meaningful community change. PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS: [03:42] Craig tees up the sober living deep dive with Jim's backstory. [04:00] COVID nonpaying rentals force Jim to pivot toward group homes. [5:24] Buys a $500 coaching course overnight and launches within a week. [07:39] Converts rentals into sober living homes and adds extra bedrooms. [09:41] Payment totals $2,700 monthly; collects $7,000 using per-bed rent. [11:03] Residents' stays are prepaid for two to six months by recovery programs. [12:01] Operations manager Shay handles calls, phones, and food support. [15:31] Random drug testing; any failed test leads to immediate removal. [18:00] Explains the drug-free rule to maintain state and grant compliance. [20:47] Research areas by mapping local clinics and case manager networks. [24:03] Expands via referrals from agencies impressed with his housing quality. [27:36] Keeps furnishing simple, durable furniture, storage, and ready rooms only. [28:12] Secures $200,000 in grant funding and forms a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. [30:26] Grants fund operations, staff, utilities, and resident scholarships. [32:26] Now building 18 homes, start two, refinance, then repeat the process. [34:20] Private lenders fund projects at two points and ten percent interest. [34:51] He met his main lender at a bar, proof that valuable connections can happen anywhere. [36:16] Keeps 30–35% equity to build long-term legacy instead of chasing quick profits. [41:37] Advises new investors to start small and build credibility through consistency. [42:26] Success story: one property doubled in value through patience and discipline.  HOST Craig Curelop

Send us a textGrants look easy from the outside: download a form, fill it in, wait for the cheque. In reality? Cold applications rarely convert, and the magic happens off the application portal. On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio and co-host Caitlin McBride unpack why grants are not the quick win many organizations expect and how a single 15-minute call can completely change your pitch, and your odds. We break down what funders won't put on their website, why most “perfect fit” applications still miss, and how to flip your process from “apply first” to “build trust first.” If you've been told to “just send more grants,” but aren't seeing the results you want, this one's for you. Grant Writing for Nonprofits - The Highlights: Cold grants rarely win funds Caitlin shared a study by grant consultant Valerie Grant that analyzed 270 grants over 19 months. When organizations submitted cold applications with no prior connection, the approval rate was 7 percent. That means 93 percent were denied. High volume without strategy burns time. Relationships exponentially increase your odds When there was prior contact or a relationship, the approval rate rose to 17 percent - a 140 percent increase. Funders often clarify fit, timing, and budget in conversation. Sometimes the formal application follows an informal yes. Expect a 12-to-18-month runway Grants are a long game. Many wins come after a first rejection, a feedback loop, and a re-application in the next cycle. Most funders have fixed windows, internal review processes, and shifting priorities that you cannot rush. Plan your efforts and your expectations accordingly. Do not build your budget on speculative grants Caitlin is conservative: she only budgets grants that are multi-year or renewed reliably with active stewardship. If you base a program plan on a hoped-for grant and it does not land, the fallout can be severe. Capacity and clarity come before hiring a grant writer A grant writer cannot save a weak system. You need a clear project or program, measurable outcomes, data collection, stories, and a stewardship plan. Your website must make you findable and credible; you should post annual reports, impact stats, audited financials, and real stories. Funders do their homework.

Cam details the issues at hand in U.S. v. Hemani, which was just granted cert by the Supreme Court, and talks with American Suppressor Association head Knox Williams about another case that could soon reach SCOTUS dealing with NFA taxes and registration requirements on suppressors.

On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he had commuted the sentence of former Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who was serving a seven-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,' but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren't forced to serve seven years in prison,” adding, “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated.” Santos's attorney said he was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, on Friday night. The commutation does not expunge Santos's criminal record, but he will not be required to pay over $370,000 in restitution to his victims.Tangle is coming live — this week!We're just a few days away from Tangle News: Live! at the Irvine Barclay Theatre on Friday, October 24 — and I couldn't be more excited.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump's Nobel campaign tour continues: he's meeting Zelensky at the White House today, fresh off a “productive” call with Putin and plans to see him soon in Budapest. Meanwhile, former national security adviser John Bolton was indicted on 18 counts for allegedly keeping and sharing over a thousand pages of classified info with relatives — which were later hacked by Iran-linked actors. The Wall Street Journal says Trump's next target is the IRS, with plans to redirect its muscle toward investigating left-leaning groups and major Democratic donors. Shutdown side effects keep piling up — the New York Times found $28 billion in federal project funding frozen in blue districts versus just $739 million in red ones.In other news, Harvard reported a $113 million operating loss, its first in years, after federal funding fell and costs rose (though donor gifts hit a record $629 million and its endowment swelled to $57 billion). Trump also wined and dined corporate giants like Palantir, Meta, and Google to raise $250 million for his new White House ballroom, while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker casually declared $1.4 million in blackjack winnings. And in Madagascar, Gen Z protesters ousted their president, who fled to Dubai, leaving a military colonel promising elections “within two years.” Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: WSJ: Trump Says He Will Meet With Putin in Budapest to Discuss End to Ukraine War AP News: Donald Trump's former adviser John Bolton indicted WSJ: Trump Team Plans IRS Overhaul to Enable Pursuit of Left-Leaning Groups NYT: Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown Axios: Harvard posts biggest operating loss in 14 years as Trump cuts bite WSJ: Trump Hosts Corporate Ballroom Donors at Glitzy White House Dinner WSJ: Billionaire Gov.

In this episode, you'll learn how many-year grants can bolster nonprofit people and programmatic impact. Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Betsy Leondar-Wright, Ph.D., the lead researcher at Fund the People, to discuss our brand-new report, Long-Haul Grantmaking.Betsy brings decades of nonprofit leadership, social justice activism, and academic research to the conversation, and she shares how her personal experiences with underfunded, unstable nonprofit jobs shaped her passion for this work. Together, Rusty and Betsy explore the vital question: what happens when funders commit to long-term, flexible support for nonprofits with an emphasis on supporting employees?Drawing from a case study of the Walter & Elise Haas Fund's Endeavor Fund, which made seven-year unrestricted grants to seven Bay Area nonprofits, Betsy highlights transformative impacts for organizations and their staff. From stronger internal systems and fairer pay, to improved work-life balance, healthier collaboration, and greater program impact, the research shows how funding stability, paired with financial incentives to focus on job quality, directly translates to healthier, more effective nonprofits. Betsy also shares moving examples of staff and program participants whose lives have been improved by this approach—from frontline workers gaining access to healthcare and rest, to immigrant entrepreneurs modeling better job practices in their own small businesses.This conversation offers funders and nonprofit leaders alike practical insights into how funding can shift from a cycle of scarcity to a model of sustainability. Listeners will also learn about an upcoming interactive webinar (October 10, 2025, 10am PT / 1pm ET) where Betsy and special guests will dive deeper into the findings and share strategies for overcoming barriers to many-year funding.
