How Daffodil Discovery works for philanthropic advisors

The nonprofit research agent pulls verified outcomes, financials, and program data across 1.4M+ U.S. nonprofits in seconds.

Compare programs on qualitative and quantitative data — give your clients a defensible, data-backed recommendation every time.

Describe a donor's priorities in plain language. Daffodil maps it into a multi-parameter search and returns a ranked, evidence-based shortlist.

Curate impact portfolios with outcomes your clients understand — not 990s and financial ratios.

Open and oversee donor-advised funds across your client base without managing multiple platforms.

Platform features

A Daffodil Discovery account is your Swiss Army Knife for philanthropy.

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 shortlists 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.
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 qualitative and quantitative data across organizations before you give — informed decisions, every time.
Discovery Fund: Allocate to our algorithmic matchmaking fund and let Daffodil surface the highest-impact opportunities automatically.

Every Daffodil account includes a full suite of AI agents built for outcomes-based giving.

Giving planner agent: Describe your giving goals. The agent drafts a plan, proposes outcome-aligned organizations, and adjusts as your priorities evolve.
Smart search: Describe what you're looking for in plain language. Daffodil intelligently maps your request into a multi-parameter complex query across the full nonprofit dataset.
Nonprofit research agent: Instant AI-assisted due diligence on any nonprofit — outcomes data, financials, 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.
