What are the fees associated with a DAF at Fidelity?

Stock

When it comes to Donor-advised funds (DAF), fees can often be a significant concern. Traditional providers, such as Fidelity, charge a minimum of $100 a year or 0.6% of assets, whichever one is higher. This fee increases as the account balance grows, meaning more of your money goes to the provider instead of the charities you care about. However, Daffy offers a more cost-effective solution. As a provider of DAF, Daffy charges significantly lower fees, starting at just $36 a year. This means more of your money can go towards the causes and organizations you care about. Transferring a DAF account to Daffy is a straightforward process and is free of charge. Simply visit daffy.org and log into your account. The step-by-step process of transferring a DAF account to Daffy is available on their website. Daffy is not just about saving you money on fees. It's about increasing your impact on the causes you care about. With Daffy, you can access your account, contribute, and donate from a full-featured native mobile app. This convenience makes it easier for you to give, especially at a time when giving rates are lower than ever. Moreover, Daffy allows you to donate and/or invest in cryptocurrencies, which are now subject to capital gains tax just like any other investment. By using your crypto to fund your Daffy account, you could avoid tax on assets held for more than a year. Daffy is more than just a platform for giving. It's a community committed to setting money aside for those less fortunate. Connect with friends, families, and other donors on the app to raise awareness and funds for the causes you care about.
