#860 Automating Your Charitable Donations With Crypto w/ Adam Nash
- Adam Nash discusses Daffy, a fintech platform using donor-advised funds (DAFs) to simplify charitable giving and tax-advantaged donations.
- Donor-advised funds allow donors to contribute money, receive an immediate tax deduction, invest the funds, and distribute to charities over time.
- Daffy supports contributions across multiple asset types: bank transfers, stocks, ETFs, and crypto (120+ coins supported).
- The platform uses membership-based pricing rather than asset-under-management fees, aligning incentives to encourage actual charitable giving.
- Nash's background includes roles at Apple, eBay, LinkedIn, and as CEO of Wealthfront, plus 100+ angel investments in tech companies.
- Educational gap exists around donor-advised funds; most people unaware this tax-efficient giving vehicle exists without a financial advisor.
