Our mission is to
help people
be more generous, more often.
Daffy is a modern donor-advised fund that combines design, technology,
and behavioral research to make giving simpler, and more impactful.
People want
to be generous
Daffy started with an idea that is a cornerstone of morality for billions of people: everyone should put something aside for those less fortunate than themselves.
What’s often missing isn’t the desire to give, it’s a system to help us follow through.
A DAF lets you set money aside for charity when it’s convenient for you, invest it tax-free, and support the charities you care about over time. Research shows this kind of pre-commitment can increase giving by up to 32%.
We’re building the donor-advised fund for you, whether you put aside a few hundred dollars or a few hundred million. Our goal is to help everyone be the generous people they want to be.

Bringing the best
of tech to giving
Daffy was co-founded by Adam Nash and Alejandro Crosa, who first met while working together at LinkedIn. With decades of experience building products used by millions at companies including Wealthfront, Twitter, Slack, Dropbox, eBay, and Apple, they set out to put modern technology to work for giving.
Today, Daffy is built by a team of designers, engineers, operators, and giving experts united by the belief that generosity should be part of everyday life.
