Within the next year, we'll see agents opening DAFs.
For now, human advisors, with your OK, manage these actions. Soon, however, an agent will.
I found my way to giving through tax mitigation, via a DAF.
Somewhere along the way, I found the real optimization: giving is a backdoor to turning your investing into something more impactful—change.
I'll repeat: there's no minimum size for a DAF, and it costs zero dollars to open one.
The nonprofits on the receiving end are as happy to get a four-figure check as a six- or seven-figure one; they need all the funding they can get.
This is so instanely bullish for @endaomentdotorg I can't even figure out what to say.
The nation's fastest growing custodian, @altruist, who was just bought by @Vanguard_Group in a multi billion $ txn, and with 6,000+ RIA users, now offers DAFs using our APIs.
As of today 👏 Advisor-Managed DAFs are now live on Altruist, and we couldn't be more excited!!!
@altruist advisors can lead their clients' giving right where they work, with no separate login needed.
I could say a bagillion more things, but for now: huge thanks to the Alturist team for trusting us with this work.
The future of finance is abstracted onchain infrastructure enabling embedded x-party integrations over APIs.
CHOOO CHOOOOO ALL ABOARD
Boots on the ground! Go find Noah and Bruxa my DAF peoples.
First full day at @DAFGivingSummit 🤠 We're so excited to be here!
Come to Booth 18 for a demo and learn how to implement giving tools to support the next-generation donor set.
Oh, and we've got great new hats too 🧢 Say hey to @sightnoah & @0xbruxa!

You can now give from you DAF right inside @ResearchHub ! 👏
Since April 2025 we've turned their RSC token into dollars any university can receive, moving $1.6M+ to researchers so far!
Now it works with your DAF too: find a proposal, pick your Endaoment fund at checkout, done. Next level!

For those of you who really want to commit to your goals - your word is now worth something!
Define your goal > choose how much USDC and time to commit > choose a charity to donate to if you fail > add verifiers > Done.

Something neat about these donations: our fund at @endaomentdotorg holds aRLUSD on @aave, where it earns (so we can give more) until it's deployed for disaster relief efforts like this. Another great blockchain-for-good example.
Since someone needs to say it: giving is not net negative. Like really, fully, the opposite.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says donating to charity is net negative
"The common view is that philanthropy is this noble cause, and Bill Gates is like 'I'm going to go rehabilitate my image and do philanthropy.'"
"A lot of charities and philanthropies are actually net negative for the world and they get captured. It's remarkably hard to find a foundation that has not gotten captured by ideology.”
“By trying to do something good, like criminal justice reform, it turns out they just increased crime. I have a donor advised fund and I put money toward things helping civilization advance, but I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."
"If you look at the Ford Foundation, I think Henry Ford would be turning over in his grave if he knew what they were up to.”
“I have a DAF, a donor advised fund, and I just try to put money toward things that I think are helping civilization advance. But I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."
I choose to take a death-bed perspective towards life.
How will I feel about my net contributions to the world? Have I lived in reciprocity with my surroundings, as a steward to the fragile stability that makes my comfy life possible?
