One-Time Donations

Not ready to open a fund? No problem! Endaoment makes it easy to make a one-time donation directly to any nonprofit—no DAF required.

How It Works

  1. Search for the organization you want to support
  2. Click “Donate Now” on the organization’s page
  3. Complete the donation flow to donate any asset type
That’s it! You’ll go through a simple, streamlined donation experience.
You have the option to donate anonymously, but keep in mind that anonymous donors will not receive a tax receipt.

Why Consider Opening a DAF Instead?

While one-time donations are simple and convenient, opening a Donor-Advised Fund offers additional benefits:
BenefitDescription
Charitable Checking AccountThink of your DAF as a dedicated account for all your giving—organized and ready when you are
Immediate Tax Receipt, Flexible GivingGet your tax deduction now, then recommend grants to your favorite causes over time
Grow Your FundsInvest your charitable dollars in diversified portfolios while you decide where to give
Strategic PhilanthropyBuild a thoughtful, long-term strategy for your charitable giving

Donating to a Fund

First, connect to Endaoment, click Start a Fund and follow the prompts to open your DAF. Next, fund your Donor-Advised Fund with a donation of any asset. All gifts are an irrevocable donation to Endaoment and cannot be withdrawn or used for any other purpose besides grantmaking to qualified 501(c)(3) charities. Once you have a DAF set up, you can make grant recommendations to nonprofits of your choosing or invest assets in Portfolios. See below for a video demonstration of how to create a fund.
