Get Started - Endaoment

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

Search for the organization you want to support

Click “Donate Now” on the organization’s page

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:

Benefit	Description
Charitable Checking Account	Think of your DAF as a dedicated account for all your giving—organized and ready when you are
Immediate Tax Receipt, Flexible Giving	Get your tax deduction now, then recommend grants to your favorite causes over time
Grow Your Funds	Invest your charitable dollars in diversified portfolios while you decide where to give
Strategic Philanthropy	Build a thoughtful, long-term strategy for your charitable giving

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 All gifts are an irrevocable donation to Endaoment and cannot be withdrawn or used for any other purpose besides grantmaking to qualified 501(c)(3) charities.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.
