Daffodil updates, DAF news, and where to find us in the wild.

Here’s a quick look at what we’re building, what we’re watching in the world of donor-advised funds, and where Daffodil is showing up next.

What’s New at Daffodil

  • We’ve been building. Daffodil is becoming the home for modern giving: research, matching, giving, impact intelligence, and no-cost DAFs, all in one place.

  • Daffodil supports giving to any verified 501c3 or fiscally sponsored organization. Learn more about our policies here.
