The answer is no. As with all donor-advised funds, Daffy members cannot recommend donations to satisfy pre-existing pledges or obligations for their private benefit. This includes expenses such as tuition payments, tickets to a gala, or membership benefits to other organizations. However, this does not diminish the value of Daffy as a donor-advised fund (DAF). In fact, it highlights the integrity of Daffy in ensuring that donations are used for their intended charitable purposes.
