A big benefit of Daffy is that when you contribute cash, stock, ETFs, mutual funds, or crypto to your fund, you're able to take an immediate tax deduction for those contributions, invest those assets to increase potential impact, and have time to pick charities to support.
Below are key dates to ensure your contributions qualify for a 2025 tax deduction.
Contributions | Deadline |
Cash (ACH bank transfer via Plaid, Apple Pay, or debit/credit card) | Initiate on Daffy by December 31, 2025, at 11:59 pm PST. |
Stock, ETFs, and Mutual Funds | Initiate on Daffy and with your broker by December 8, 2025, to ensure receipt and verification by Daffy by December 31, 2025. Note: Broker processing times may vary. |
Crypto | Initiate wallet transfer on Daffy and your crypto wallet as soon as possible, as transfer timing varies by blockchain, and it must be cleared by the specified blockchain by December 31, 2025 at 11:59 pm PST. |
Private Stock | Inquire as soon as possible to discuss your specific situation at privatestock@daffy.org. |
Donations
While donations from your Daffy fund don’t have tax implications, we know many members like to have their gifts reach charities during the holiday season. If you’d like your donation to arrive by the end of December, please submit it by December 15, 2025. We’ll do our very best to ensure it gets to the charity in time for the holidays. |
DAF transfers to Daffy are not tax-deductible, but moving your fund in 2025 will save you fees in 2026!
