01What it does

What Daf Gives Charitable does

Mission

DAF Gives Charitable is a donor advised fund (sponsoring organization) supported by an online platform called DAFshare to raise funds for qualified public charities as defined by IRS 501(c)(3). Our mission is to accelerate charitable giving by elevating it into a rewarding and personal social experience. We seek to leverage humane technology with a user-friendly platform in order to connect donors, financial advisors and charities in self-sustaining online giving communities

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. As a new and still small Donor Advised Fund, we do not have service programs pre se. We accept donations from the general public and various groups who have organized on our platform and allow unrestricted grants based on the advice of our members. In 2024 we issued 740 grants to 169 operational charities for a total of $75,709. The causes supported by those charities included humanitarian and social services, health and medical research, animal welfare, education and environmental protection, veterans support, as well as support for children and the elderly. Our platform is unique in that it enables donors to take responsibility for charitable fundraising by creating online communities to drive capacity at scale.

funders

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of DAF GIVES CHARITABLE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of DAF GIVES CHARITABLE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $39k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
