The easy 3-step DAFpay process includes a step to securely verify your account (Username and Password) with the financial institution where you have your DAF, such as Fidelity Charitable or Schwab Charitable. You can donate from 1000+ DAF providers. DAFpay works for one-time donations. To make a monthly DAF donation, please see the last paragraph.
When you use DAFpay, the full amount of your donation goes to Concussion Alliance. We pay 2.9% + 30¢ for the transaction. For example, for a $500 DAF donation, we receive your full $500 donation, and then we pay a fee of $15. If you are going to make a significantly sized donation, please consider a DAF contribution directly from your financial institution.
Concussion Alliance welcomes DAF contributions directly from your DAF financial institution; there is no processing fee with this method. You also have the option to set up a monthly recurring DAF donation. Contact your financial institution and give them this information:

Donor Advised Funds
What is a Donor Advised Fund, or DAF?
Donor Advised Funds, or DAFs, are tax-advantaged savings accounts that make it easy to contribute to causes you care about.
To fund a DAF, “Donors contribute money to an investment fund managed by a sponsoring organization,” such as Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable. “Donors can contribute cash and a wide range of non-cash assets, including stocks, shares of mutual funds, publicly traded securities, private assets, and crypto.”
“After the sponsoring organization invests the funds to grow, donors can then recommend grants be made to charities of their choice using money from the fund. Although “recommend” is the industry term for this process, it’s helpful to note that sponsoring organizations rarely decline a donor’s grant wishes.”
