Make Giving from DAFs Simple, Seamless, and Impactful

GiveCentral is excited to announce our new integration for Donor Advised Funds (DAFs).

Now, donors can recommend grants directly from their DAF accounts with just a few clicks — and nonprofits can receive and track those gifts without extra manual work.

Why Donor Advised Funds Matter?

$230+ billion is currently held in Donor Advised Funds across the U.S.

DAFs are one of the fastest-growing ways donors give.

Donors who use DAFs are often your most loyal and generous supporters.

But until now, the process of recommending a grant from a DAF has been confusing, slow, and disconnected from other donation tools.

How It Works for Donors?

  1. Donor selects “Give from my Donor Advised Fund” on your GiveCentral donation page.
  2. They choose their DAF provider (e.g., Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard).
  3. They submit their grant recommendation through their DAF account.
  4. The financial institution sends the funds directly to your nonprofit.
  5. Donor and gift details flow into GiveCentral for tracking, acknowledgment, and stewardship.
GiveCentral does not handle or distribute the funds — we make the process seamless and transparent for both donors and nonprofits.

Benefits for Nonprofits

  • Simplified donor experience

    Donors initiate gifts from your branded page and are guided smoothly to their DAF provider.

  • Accurate tracking

    Even though the funds are distributed by the financial institution, donor intent and transaction details are captured in GiveCentral.

  • Improved stewardship

    You’ll know who recommended the grant and can thank them promptly, closing the communication gap common with DAFs.

  • Unlock DAF generosity

    Make it easier for donors to recommend larger or recurring grants from their DAFs.
