Hypha for donor advised funds

Give strategically. See where every dollar goes. Build lasting impact.

Explore the system

The problem

Traditional DAFs are black boxes.

Donors receive a tax receipt, but capital can sit idle and the path from grant recommendation to real outcome remains difficult to see.

The vision

A DAF you can actually see.

Track every grant, collaborate with advisors and family, connect directly with grantees, and watch a living portfolio of change unfold.

01

The reality

What keeps this system stuck.

No outcome visibility

Giving disappears into silence after the grant.

Slow processing

Urgency gets lost in recommendation and approval paperwork.

Disconnected grantees

Funders lack genuine relationship with the work.

Family friction

Generations and priorities lack a shared place to align.

Generic reporting

Balances replace stories, evidence, and meaning.

Limited investment choice

Fund growth is disconnected from donor values.

02

The solution

How it works

One cycle. Total clarity.

Every contribution is tracked. Every grant is visible. Every outcome can be understood.

  • Fund your account
  • Recommend grants
  • Track outcomes
  • Grow your impact

It starts with funding. Contribute cash, securities, or other assets and receive an immediate tax benefit. Then recommend grants to causes you care about, individually or with your family through shared governance. Track every dollar as it flows to grantees, with real-time updates on outcomes. Finally, grow your remaining balance through values-aligned investing. The cycle compounds and your giving gets smarter over time.
