:Thank you for your astonishingly prodigious contributions. The lack of hyphen makes my teeth hurt too. My impression is that the folks who invented the subject of this article do not hyphenate, and that most RS I have seen does not hyphenate. This question is frustrated by the pathetic state of the refs in this article. How would you characterize the bulk of RS? [[User:HughD|Hugh]] ([[User talk:HughD|talk]]) 18:22, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hyphenation

I feel that the article title should be "Donor-advised fund". It's not difficult to find sources that omit the hyphen, but its also not difficult to find sources that use the hyphen, realizing that "Donor-advised" is a compound modifier that screams out for hyphenation. These sites are not run by fools:
