About DAF Direct

DAF Direct is a free, easy-to-install web application that enables your donors to initiate grant recommendations from their donor-advised fund (DAF) directly from your website or online fundraising campaigns. 

DAF Direct currently facilitates grant recommendations from donors of Fidelity Charitable®, Schwab Charitable®, and the BNY Mellon Charitable Gift Fund®. More national and community foundation DAF sponsoring organizations may be added in the future.

There are two options available:

• The traditional DAF Direct widget a web application that can be easily customized and added directly to your website to allow your DAF donors to access their donor-advised funds.
• The DAF Direct link a version that can be easily added to your website’s current payment options. However, unlike many of the other available payment types, DAF Direct charges no processing or transaction fees.
