At Daffy, our mission is to help people be more generous, more often. We believe that generosity shouldn’t be a rare event but a regular habit, and the most powerful catalyst we’ve found is inspiration. It turns out that giving is wildly contagious, but it needs a voice. Research backs this up; 85% of donations happen because someone asked them. Whether you have a platform that reaches millions or simply share what’s important to you with friends, when we speak up about causes and organizations that we care about, we inspire others to act.

Podcasts are a perfect example. Since launching Daffy Campaigns, we’ve seen numerous examples of meaningful impact by podcast hosts who care:

• Dad I’d Like to Friend’s Kevin Seldon: Matched donations to support, All Parents Welcome, to help launch a book designed to better support non-birthing parents.
• All the Hacks’ Chris Hutchins: Interviewed charity: water’s founder Scott Harrison on a podcast episode and then launched a campaign that funded one clean water project in under 24 hours, quickly upping the goal to two.
• Uncommon Philanthropists’ Rena Olsen: Mobilized quickly to support organizations responding to Hurricane Helene.

Each of these campaigns shows what happens when we talk about what matters to us, and this giving season, we’re channeling that same energy to turn up the volume on generosity.

This is why we are excited to launch the 2025 Voices For Good Challenge.

Introducing the 2025 Voices for Good Challenge

From today through December 2 (Giving Tuesday), Daffy and iHeartMedia are teaming up to see what happens when some of the biggest names in podcasting go mic-to-mic for the Voices for Good Challenge.

Each show will launch their own campaign, rally their listeners, and compete to raise the most money for the causes closest to their hearts. It’s a month-long showdown where your donations not only fuel impact, they also help decide who will be crowned the Ultimate Voice for Good. Let there be no doubt, these hosts are in it to win it.

And because every great competition needs prizes, we’ve got those too:

🏆 Podcaster Prize: One show will take home bragging rights (and the trophy) as the Ultimate Voice for Good.

✈️ Grand Prize for Donors: Every donation you make is an entry to win, and one lucky donor will win a trip for two to the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

Daffy: From Inspiration to Action
