Hey Americans now that you realized you like soccer, let me tell you about this other really awesome thing called “the metric system”.

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

We started @DaffyGiving with a simple mission: help people be more generous, more often.

Today, Daffy members have made 100,000+ donations to charities across the country, representing more than $300M distributed to organizations doing critical work. 🙏

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

Just approved almost $15M in donations @DaffyGiving. Might be a record for us for a single day. 🎉

Incredibly inspiring to see this level of generosity. 🙏

@ManuKumar It was Amber alert I believe

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

Pretty impressive how that emergency text woke me up so I didn’t miss the earthquake, weirdly fun and scary

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

You can now let your AI Agents donate to charity with the daffy-cli✨

We crossed one billion dollars in assets and we are just getting started https://t.co/9szjBnn02l

For Giving Tuesday I am happy to add $25 to donations you can make through Daffy.

DAFs make giving easy (a few clicks on an app), but banks used to charge 1% fees per year. Daffy is the Robinhood of DAFs — free/cheap, social, almost gamified.

iOS 26 support coming to @DaffyGiving next week 🚀
- Enhanced Liquid Glass visuals
- On-device foundation models for smarter performance
- A new Generous Alarm: snooze = donate
- Quick Donate by voice: “Send 100 bucks to my kid’s school”
- An even faster, smoother app experience

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

Speed is a core product feature at @DaffyGiving. We made our iOS app and our desktop homepage launch in less than a second. Time-to-donation should be as close to zero as possible.

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

In 2024, @DaffyGiving approved $40M worth of donations out to charities across the country. Over $12M went out in December alone.

In April 2025 alone @DaffyGiving approved over $20M in donations out to charities. 🤯

Amazing how online platforms scale. 🎉

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

Most charities can’t take Bitcoin as a donation. That’s OK.

You can have the immense tax benefits of donating crypto *and* supporting nearly any legal US charity.

Just use @DaffyGiving 🥰

[Fast Company @FastCompany]

Daffy believes removing the friction in charitable giving could open the floodgates for millions more dollars in donations per year. https://t.co/89lEo4J96r

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

Great coverage today for @DaffyGiving and it's new AI-power feature, "Quick Donate" 🎉

Friction is the enemy of generosity, and AI has the potential to help us all be our better selves. 🙏

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

@kamalhm For this role, yes

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

🚀 We’re hiring a Backend Engineer at Daffy! 🚀

Come help us scale our modern donor-advised fund, build seamless integrations, and optimize our backend in Kotlin, Dropwizard & PostgreSQL.

Join a mission-driven team making giving easier for everyone.

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

Inherent to Founder Mode is the courage to be disliked. For a founder, the mission, customer and product reigns supreme. Effective leadership is not about making everyone at your company happy or producing the average of everyone’s opinions. It’s about doing what’s right.

[Alejandro @alejandrocrosa]

Just in December alone, people contributed more than USD 100,000,000 to their accounts on Daffy. 🤯 https://t.co/PjItjSXuk8

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many.

The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction evasion. America is a fertile bed for psyops like this because our media apparatus hates our technology companies and wants to see President Trump fail.

We have so many useful idiots uncritically reporting Chinese propaganda as fact because on some level, they want it to be true. They love seeing hundreds of billions of dollars wiped off the market cap off our largest companies.

[Adam Nash @adamnash]

Wow. $82M in stock & crypto set aside for charity in November & December? On @DaffyGiving? Incredible. 🤯

Word must be getting out. Putting aside some of those 2024 gains is good for charity & good for your taxes. 🤓

Not too late! 🙏
