Your Preferences

When you donate on Daffy, you are in control of the contact information you share with the charity.

You can set default, contact information sharing preferences for all your donations, or customize your sharing preferences based on the specific charity or donation.

If you’d like to share your contact information with a charity, you can decide how much to share (e.g., email address, mailing address and/or phone number).

You can also make your donation completely anonymous or only share your name but no contact information. The choice is yours.


Two Donation Settings

There are two types of donation preferences (settings) on Daffy:

Share Contact Info With Charities

Donation Visibility on Daffy

This setting determines the contact information you wish to share with a charity when making a donation. This can include a custom donor name (or names), email address, or mailing address.

You can use these fields to share a custom name, or email address, or mailing address (or all three). You can set default preferences for all your donations or customize these fields for every donation.

If you prefer to not share any contact information with a charity, make sure to turn the slider off this section.

This setting determines whether or not your donation will be displayed on Daffy.

If your donation visibility is set to Public, the donation will display on your Daffy profile, the profile of the charity, and in the community feed of members that follow you. Your name, fund name, your public comment (if submitted), and the name of the charity will be visible. Public donations never include the amount of the donation.

If donation visibility is set to Private, your donations will display as "Anonymous" on Daffy.

Sharing Contact Information

Create your default settings:

  1. If you use the Daffy app, go to the gear (settings) icon on the top right and tap Preferences. If you use Daffy on the web, go to daffy.org/settings/preferences.

  2. Scroll down to find the section "Share Info With Charities"

  3. If you'd like to share additional contact information with the charities you donate to, turn on the slider and type in your information.

  4. If you prefer not to share your contact information, keep the slider turned off. Note: if your donation is Public (see below), then your Fund Name and Name will be automatically shared with the charity.


Customize for a specific donation:

  1. When you start a new donation on Daffy, the donation will follow the default setting you set above.

  2. To customize or override your default settings:

    1. Start the donation and click or tap "Customize Donation" on the first screen

    2. Scroll down to "Share Info With Charities"

    3. Turn the slider on or off and type in your information.

Here is an example of a donation letter that shows contact information for a member.

Donation Visibility

Each donation has a Visibility setting of either Public or Private, which determines whether or not the donation will be displayed publicly or anonymously on the Daffy platform.

You may choose to share contact information with the charity but keep the donation visibility Private (anonymous) on Daffy. If your donation visibility is set to Private and you choose to share your information with the charity, we will ask the charity to keep your information private.

For your donation to be truly anonymous on Daffy and to the charity, make sure "Share Info With Charities" slider is turned off and your Donation Visibility is set to Private.

Create your default settings:

  1. If you use the Daffy app, go to the gear (settings) icon on the top right and tap Preferences. If you use Daffy on the web, go to daffy.org/settings/preferences.

  2. Scroll down to find the section "Donation Visibility."

  3. Select Public or Private.

Customize for a specific donation:

  1. When you submit a new donation request, the donation will automatically match the default setting you set above.

  2. To customize it further just for this donation:

    1. While requesting the donation, click Customize Donation, scroll down to “Donation Visibility.”

    2. Select Public or Private.

Anonymous Donations

To make an anonymous donation on Daffy, make sure the "Share Info With Charities" slider is turned off and your Donation Visibility is set to Private. Below is an example of what an anonymous donation from Daffy looks like.
