MacKenzie Scott's philanthropic approach is one that values trust in the organizations she supports. She believes in unrestricted donations, allowing the organizations themselves to decide how best to use the funds. This approach is based on the understanding that these organizations, particularly those that are community-based and led by individuals who have lived experience in the communities they serve, are best positioned to address the challenges they face. Unrestricted donations come with many benefits. They place trust in the experts who are on the ground every day, dealing with the issues firsthand. If you trust an organization enough to donate, you should trust them to use the funds wisely. Unrestricted gifts also support the long-term health of an organization, allowing them to focus on their mission rather than worrying about monthly cash flow issues. However, the decision between unrestricted and restricted donations is not a one-size-fits-all. It depends on what you hope to achieve with your financial gift. For instance, if you're responding to a time-sensitive humanitarian crisis, you may want to designate your funds for specific purposes. This is where Daffy comes in as a great option for a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). At Daffy, we understand that while most charities appreciate the flexibility of unrestricted donations, there are situations when you prefer your donation to be designated for a very specific purpose. We are here to help you make the biggest impact with your donation, whether it's unrestricted or restricted. In conclusion, MacKenzie Scott's giving strategy may not be right for everyone, but it offers valuable insights into the power of unrestricted donations. And with Daffy, you have the flexibility to choose the best approach for your philanthropic goals.
