Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) have earned a reputation for being complicated, slow, and full of red tape.

At GiveClear, we’re here to challenge that—and we’re doing it with purpose-built technology, a heart for generosity, and a fresh approach that puts donors and nonprofits first.

We believe giving should feel good.

Not frustrating. Not opaque. And definitely not stuck in paperwork limbo.

Who We Are

GiveClear is a 501(c)(3) public charity built around a simple idea: make giving easier—and more impactful—for everyone involved.

We’re a small but mighty team, passionate about using innovation to remove the barriers to generosity. Whether you're a donor, a financial advisor, or a nonprofit partner, we want the experience to feel seamless, clear, and full of purpose.

What We Do

At our core, we offer donor-advised funds (DAFs)—but not the kind you might be used to.

Most DAFs accept contributions in the form of cash, checks, wire transfers, and a variety of non-cash assets like stocks, mutual funds, and even certain types of real estate . Donors receive an immediate tax deduction , then recommend grants to qualified charities over time.

At GiveClear, we’ve taken that core concept and removed the friction:

Our platform is clean, intuitive, and fast
Our admin fees are lower than many traditional DAF providers
Our system is built for transparency, speed, and ease—without losing the human touch

With GiveClear, donors can give when they want, how they want, and see the impact of their giving along the way. Nonprofits receive grants efficiently and gain visibility with donors. Advisors have a trusted tool to support their clients’ philanthropic goals—without extra paperwork.

Why We’re Growing

The giving landscape is changing—and GiveClear is growing with it.

More individuals want to give with intention. More advisors are seeking better charitable tools. And more nonprofits want partners that make things easier, not harder.

We’re growing because we’ve built something that works:

Seamless giving
Reduced friction
Trusted partnerships
Clear results

In fact, the total amount of grants issued in 2024 through our platform was over 9x higher than in 2023 —a reflection of the growing desire for streamlined, purpose-driven giving.

And we’re just getting started. As we continue expanding our platform and partnerships, our mission remains the same: Empower generosity. Simplify philanthropy.

Breaking the Stigma Around DAFs

We know the DAF space can feel outdated. That’s why we’re different—on purpose.

We're proud to be part of a new generation of charitable organizations that make giving a joy again, not a burden. Through technology, transparency, and heart, we’re building a platform that works for real people and real causes.
