Daffy

Daffy operates a donor-advised fund platform, a tax-advantaged account through which individuals contribute cash or appreciated assets, take an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nearly any IRS-qualified public charity. Its offering spans the fund itself, custom investment portfolios, family giving accounts, and public matching campaigns. Daffy has no minimum contribution and serves accounts from small recurring gifts to large family funds.

Daffy differentiates on the breadth of assets it accepts, including publicly traded stock, ETFs, mutual funds, cryptocurrency, and private stock donations. It sets a flat membership fee against the percentage-based asset fees that traditional donor-advised funds often charge. Its target customer is individuals and families who want to give more often, with support for the financial advisors who serve them.
