In the face of economic downturns and market volatility, maintaining consistent charitable giving can be a challenge. However, pre-funding a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) with multiple years' worth of giving can be a strategic way to ensure your philanthropic efforts remain unaffected during these uncertain times. At Daffy, we understand the importance of consistent giving, especially during times of financial hardship. That's why we recommend setting aside a certain amount of money into a DAF every month. This automated process ensures that there is always money available for giving to organizations and causes that you care about, regardless of the market conditions. Moreover, pre-funding a DAF with Daffy allows you to take advantage of good income years to prepare for potential bad markets and recessions. By doing so, you ensure that there is always money available to support the causes you care about, even during tough economic times. In fact, this strategy is one of the reasons why we started Daffy. We've seen our members increase their donations by about 30% during market corrections because they had already set aside money for giving. This is the power of pre-funding a DAF with Daffy. So, if you want to maintain your charitable giving during good markets and bad, consider automating your donations by pre-funding a DAF with Daffy. Not only will you be able to support the causes you care about consistently, but you'll also have access to a platform that simplifies your giving, tracks tax-deductible contributions, and provides donation receipts all in one place.
