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

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.

    After years with another provider, I made the switch to Daffy, and I wish I'd done it sooner. They made it simple to manage, and their flat fee structure means more of what we contribute actually goes to the causes we care about, not to fees.

    I was skeptical of Daffy at first (given its incredibly low fees), but now I'm a true believer! It's affordable, full-service, with all the investment options you could want, a superb user interface, and customer service.

    I moved my DAF from Fidelity, because of all that Daffy offers that they did not. I especially love being able to build an investment portfolio for giving in a way that aligns with my personal investing philosophy.

    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!
