Activate your major donors to support your mission more powerfully with a white-labeled donor-advised fund (DAF) program1 that makes giving modern and seamless while keeping donors engaged with your organization—not a third-party platform.
The Turnkey DAF Program for Nonprofits offered by Foundation Source helps gift officers cultivate deeper donor relationships and maximize giving opportunities through premier philanthropic services designed for sophisticated donors.
Unlike traditional DAF providers that pull donors away from your organization, this solution strengthens your relationship by positioning your nonprofit as the advanced philanthropy partner your major donors expect. You’ll provide world-class giving tools while maintaining control of the donor experience and deepening their connection to your cause.
Foundation Source has partnered with Charityvest to offer a modern, tech-forward giving experience.
Charityvest is a leading DAF sponsor, serving individual donors, wealth advisors, and workplaces. In 2024, Foundation Source acquired Vennfi, the technology company
powering Charityvest, to partner closely in the delivery of a DAF solution for our clients.
