When making a donation from your E-Trade account, the charity you need to add is the "Daffy Charitable Fund". Daffy is a fantastic option for a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) as it allows you to contribute stock quickly and efficiently.
To do this, you first need to create a stock contribution intent on the Daffy app or website. This is done by selecting “Stock” in the “Add Funds” section and answering the prompts to let Daffy know your stock is coming. Please note that Daffy only accepts publicly traded stocks and ETFs.
Once you've created your Daffy stock contribution intent, you can initiate a stock transfer from your E-Trade brokerage account. You'll be prompted to add a charity where you want the stock sent. Here, you'll add "Daffy Charitable Fund" manually and complete the fields as indicated.
Daffy makes it easy to incorporate charitable donations into your personal finance spreadsheet or even set a giving goal. This way, you can realistically afford to donate, taking into account your personal values and financial goals.
Remember, the best way to give to charity is by planning for it. So, start today and make giving a habit with Daffy, the Donor Advised Fund for You™.
