Fundraising Benefits

Welcome Donations from a Growing Donor Base

• DAF Direct helps you to welcome DAF donors by making it easier for donors to recommend a DAF grant at the very moment they are online conducting research about your organization.
• DAF Direct provides the opportunity to build relationships with your DAF donors. Names and addresses of donors are often included with grants, and many grants are designated to go "where needed most."

Make the Most of DAF Direct:

• Position the DAF Direct application or DAF Direct link on your donation page in a prominent, high-traffic location next to other acceptable payment methods (check, credit card, etc.).
• Raise awareness that you welcome DAF grants via DAF Direct from donors in all of your fundraising communications, including social media channels, emails, direct mail, and annual reports.
• Integrate DAF Direct into your online fundraising campaigns as a payment option.

Chose the DAF Direct Option That Is Best for You

Both DAF Direct options will allow DAF donors to initiate grant recommendations from their donor-advised funds directly from your website. However, depending on how you plan to incorporate DAF Direct into your fundraising activities, either the widget or the link may be more appropriate.
