I didn't leave them out for any reason. I'm glad to hear you had a great year! I think donor advised funds are a key element of the second great wave. I didn’t leave them out for any reason.

You’re absolutely right that philanthropy is alive and well. In 2008 The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta received gifts of more than $120 million - our second highest year to date. In addition, we had a record-breaking year in the amount of grants to nonprofit organizations totaling $90 million. More than 80% of that $90 million was through donor-advised funds, certainly a very active group of donors. Atlanta is a young region, and donor-advised funds allow and encourage these donors to be engaged and hands-on in their giving. Thanks to donors like these, philanthropy continues to be alive and well in the Atlanta region.
