We are excited to announce a new feature on our giving website that makes it easier than ever to support Notre Dame through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). Now, thanks to a new integration, you can initiate a DAF grant directly on the Notre Dame giving website with just a few clicks; simply select DAFpay as a payment method when you make your gift online.

What this means for you:

  • Quick and easy: You can complete a DAF gift in less than 15 seconds, directly from your DAF account, without leaving our site.
  • Convenient: This new option is available alongside other payment methods like credit card, Apple Pay, and Venmo, giving you more flexibility in how you choose to give.
  • Streamlined process: External DAF gifts now require fewer details. For example, you no longer have to enter an EIN each time you recommend a grant.

For any questions about this new feature or DAF giving in general, please reach out to donorexperience@nd.edu.
