Why Donate Stock or Crypto?
With Daffy, a modern donor-advised fund provider, you can contribute the appreciated asset, get the tax deduction now, and distribute the funds to nearly any U.S. charity anytime, all from one place. Check out our stock and crypto calculators to estimate how much you’ll save in taxes by donating these assets instead of cash.
Avoid capital gains taxes
As long as you've owned the stock/ETF for more than a year and it has appreciated in value, you'll avoid paying capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock in the year it was donated.
It’s a win for charities too
Charities don’t have to pay capital gains taxes. That means they receive the full value of your stock. You get the full deduction and they benefit by receiving your entire donation amount.
Grow your impact, tax‑free
When you contribute to a DAF like Daffy, you get a tax deduction upfront and have time to determine which organizations to support. Plus, your funds aren't stagnant — they're invested tax-free in our portfolios — so you can send more money to charities over time.
Donate to nearly any U.S. charity
The majority of charities don’t accept stock or index funds directly. With Daffy, you can contribute complex assets easily and donate to nearly any charity, school, or religious institution in the U.S., from one place.
