Daffy stands for the Donor-Advised Fund for You™ and is built around the simple idea that everyone should put something aside for those less fortunate than themselves. We believe that, with the right combination of technology and design, we can all be more generous. With no minimum to get started and industry-low fees, Daffy allows anyone to set money aside, watch it grow tax-free, and donate to over 1.7+ million charities in the US—all from one place. Plus, with fundraising capabilities, features for families to give together, and a real-time feed of members’ philanthropic activity, we’re tapping into the inherently social nature of giving, helping people discover, inspire, and support the causes they care about most. Since our launch in September 2021, the Daffy community has grown to thousands with members’ account sizes ranging from $10 to over $10 million.
