How does Daffy handle stock and ETF donations?

Stock

At Daffy, we understand the importance of giving back and making a difference. That's why we've made it our mission to simplify the process of donating stocks and ETFs to your favorite charities. Daffy is a donor-advised fund provider that allows its members to contribute nearly any publicly traded stock to their Daffy fund. This fund can then be sold and donated to any charity of your choice. This method not only allows for a tax deduction but also gives you more time to decide which organizations to support. To contribute stock, all you need to do is log into your Daffy account and select stock as a contribution option. Then, initiate a transfer from your brokerage. The stock will be liquidated and added to your fund balance once received, usually within 7-10 days. By donating appreciated stock instead of cash, more money goes to charity. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to maximize your generosity and make a significant impact on the causes you care about most. Moreover, if you're unsure which organizations to support immediately, you can invest the cash in one of our portfolios to grow tax-free for future donations. This way, you can take your time to decide how to distribute the money once you're inspired to give. At Daffy, we believe in making giving a habit. So why not join our community and start making a difference today? Remember, the minimum stock contribution you can make is $1,000. You can always come back later and contribute more.
