MAKE DONOR-ADVISED FUND GIVING EASIER

DAFpay

With DAFpay, donors can recommend a grant from their DAF as part of your online giving experience. That makes it easier for donors to support your mission using funds they’ve already set aside specifically for charitable giving.

For DAF donors, the question is which organizations they’ll recommend those funds support. With $64.6 billion granted from DAFs to nonprofits in FY 2024, making DAF giving visible and convenient can help you remove barriers, open the door to high-value gifts, and position your organization to receive their support.*

When I give to a charity from my DAF, I’m using funds I’ve already set aside for philanthropy. As a result, I almost always give more than I would have otherwise.
