How Daffodil Discovery works for employers

Real outcomes data — not just dollars matched — ready for your ESG report, all-hands, or investor deck.

Employees discover organizations aligned to their values through intelligent matchmaking, not a static catalog.

Run your matching program through donor-advised funds — tax-efficient, auditable, and fully integrated.

Track how your program's collective giving compares on outcomes, not just participation rates.

Next-gen talent wants to see real outcomes, not just donation receipts. Daffodil makes every matched dollar visible.

Platform features

Research nonprofits, track impact, manage giving, and collaborate with your team. Everything in one place, for everyone.

Give through a DAF: Open a donor-advised fund and grant to any verified U.S. nonprofit, tax-efficiently, with a full audit trail.
Multiple DAFs, one account: Spin up separate funds for different purposes: cause areas, time horizons, or initiatives, all under one login.
Invite your team: Add colleagues, advisors, or family members with the right level of access for each.
Curate nonprofit lists: Build and share curated lists of nonprofits, funders, and causes for research, reporting, or collective decision-making.
Real-time impact streams: Live updates from the nonprofits you support, surfaced based on your giving or areas of interest. Zero added work for the orgs involved.
Smart surveying: Deploy surveys for deeper insights. We monitor and meter every request, and auto-answer where we already have the data, so we never overburden nonprofits.
Bring your own impact framework: Already have priorities or an impact thesis? Bring it. Daffodil maps your framework to real outcomes data automatically.
Benchmark across nonprofits: Compare programs on qualitative and quantitative data, including 990 financials and peer outcomes, before you give.

AI features

Every Daffodil Discovery account includes purpose-built AI agents for research, reporting, discovery, and giving.

Giving planner agent: Describe your giving goals. The agent drafts a plan, proposes organizations that fit your giving goals, and adjusts as your priorities evolve.
Smart search: Describe what you're looking for in plain language. Daffodil maps your request into a multi-parameter query across 1.4M+ U.S. nonprofits and returns a ranked shortlist.
Nonprofit research agent: Instant AI-assisted due diligence on any nonprofit. Outcomes data, 990 financials, funder relationships, program details, and benchmarking in one place.
AI-managed survey deployment: The AI deploys surveys, routes responses, and drafts follow-ups automatically, so you get deeper insights without manual overhead.
Impact framework adaptation: Already have an impact framework? The AI maps your criteria to nonprofit outcomes data and keeps it current as new information comes in.
Access anywhere: Use Daffodil AI in-app, over email with Daphne, or directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini via MCP, wherever you already work.
