MIAMI and LOS ALTOS, Calif. - November 18, 2025 — Evergreen Wealth, a next-generation, digital Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) that provides tax-aware investment management and AI-powered financial advice to affluent and high-net-worth individuals and families via Dynamic PortfoliosTM, today announced a new partnership with Daffy, the Donor-Advised Fund for You™. 

Through this partnership, Evergreen Wealth clients can now donate appreciated stock and other assets from their portfolios to a donor-advised fund (DAF) at Daffy. These contributions help clients offset their taxable income and avoid capital gains taxes, and easily support more than 1.7 million legal charities across the U.S., all from Daffy’s responsive web experience or iOS app. s. Evergreen Wealth Advisors can recommend that clients leverage a “tax-gain harvesting” methodology to help identify securities with substantial realized gains that can be contributed to their donor-advised fund (DAF) at Daffy to offset their taxable income and reduce their tax bill. 

“We’re committed to helping Evergreen Wealth clients build long-term wealth for themselves and their families,” said Bill Harris, founder and CEO of Evergreen Wealth. “The partnership between Evergreen Wealth and Daffy aims to make it easy for our clients to donate to their favorite charities while potentially recognizing tax savings as a result of the contribution. The timing is important, as we want to empower our clients to contribute before the year-end deadline for the 2025 tax year.”

Evergreen Wealth Client Contribution Match

As an added incentive, Evergreen Wealth will match client contributions to their donor-advised fund accounts at Daffy through December 31, 2025—up to $5,000 for Evergreen Wealth clients with $1 million or more in assets under management, and up to $1,000 for clients with under $1 million. 

This partnership empowers Evergreen Wealth clients to optimize their giving, pairing charitable intent with potential tax benefits. Evergreen Wealth can advise clients on which assets to contribute based on their tax-gain harvesting strategy within their overall Dynamic PortfolioTM offering, which can help avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock, and possibly receive a tax deduction as well. 

Once contributed, clients can recommend when and how shares of stock are sold — immediately, gradually, or held for a period of time — through Daffy’s innovative Custom Liquidation feature. Once Daffy liquidates a client’s stock, it invests the funds tax-free in an investment portfolio to continue growing their giving potential. Daffy offers clients a choice of more than a dozen portfolios, or clients can propose a custom portfolio, selecting up to 10 ETFs from more than 450 high-quality options across Vanguard, iShares, Fidelity, and Bitwise.  

“Like Daffy, Evergreen Wealth is built for today’s tech-forward, tax-savvy, and impact-driven investors,” said Adam Nash, Co-founder and CEO of Daffy. “Our donor-advised fund platform with innovative features like Custom Liquidation and Custom Portfolios helps people turn years of market growth into lasting impact. We’re thrilled to partner with Evergreen Wealth to make that process seamless for their clients.”
