Ways To Give Page

πŸ’‘ Featuring DAF Giving on Your Website

Your website is one of the most powerful tools for increasing Donor Advised Fund (DAF) donations. In this guide, you'll find tips and examples for how to effectively feature DAFpay on both a dedicated page and a general "Ways to Give" page.

πŸ“Œ Pro Tip: We recommend including two DAFpay CTAs β€” a button and a tile β€” to allow donors to give instantly or scroll for more information. See Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for a great example.

πŸ“Œ Pro Tip: Consider putting DAFs toward the top of your "Ways to Give" page, since they now allow for faster, real-time giving. Alternatively, add a jump link to your DAF section.


Once your DAF giving page is finalized, create a custom vanity URL for marketing and donor outreach.

Example: http://aclu.org/daf

This makes it easier to link from email campaigns, social posts, or printed materials.
