Get More From Your DAF With Daffy

More Ways to Invest

Choose from 17 high-quality, low-cost portfolios, or build your own from 680+ ETFs including funds from Vanguard, iShares, Fidelity, and Bitwise. No other DAF comes close.

More Options for Stock Donations

Unlike traditional DAFs, Daffy lets you recommend when and how donated stock is liquidated, so you can maximize your impact.

Make Giving a Family Value

Invite your partner, kids, grandkids, or anyone you consider family. Family members can request donations, so giving is a shared experience.

Giving That Fits Your Financial Plan

Add your financial advisor directly to Daffy so your giving is always coordinated with your broader financial and tax strategy.

Daffy is my go-to DAF recommendation. My clients love its simplicity, the investment options beat providers that charge ten times more, and its built-in family giving features help create a habit of giving from an early age.

    I added funds to Daffy in 2022, when the S&P was at a low. Even after giving $22,000, I still have $17,000 left—my money is growing even while I'm giving. That's why a DAF like Daffy is so powerful.

    It's just so approachable and user-friendly. Daffy is a DAF for anyone, and I truly mean gifts of any amount. Try setting one up and see the difference that comes from having all your giving in one place.

    I can't recommend Daffy enough. Gifted some shares yesterday, transactions went through in one business day, and I made our annual donations tonight. All in a 36 hour period - so efficient!

    I wanted to open a DAF because I knew it would increase my charitable giving overall. It's been important to think about those that are less fortunate than I am and realize that I can give a percentage of my income to different causes.

    Once I've put the money into my fund, I don't have to decide whether or not I should give. I've already decided that there is money that I want to give away freely. The more things I can automate, the more I can stay committed to my giving goal.

    Daffy focuses all of their time on making it easier to give. The amount of hours and development that's gone into it, you can tell it's a group that's not going to settle. They are constantly innovating.
