Manage All Your Donations from a Charitable Giving Account

Uncommon Giving’s app makes it easy for anyone to deposit funds, grow their giving, and donate to the causes they care about.

Accessible, Easy-to-Use Donor-Advised Funds

Unlock a cutting-edge giving experience with the Uncommon Wallet: a donor-advised fund (DAF) you can access anytime, anywhere. 

A DAF is a tax-smart, charitable giving account that’s historically only been available to the wealthy. Today, Uncommon Giving is making DAFs accessible to everyone. Contribute to your giving wallet as frequently as you like, easily track donation records for tax purposes, and discover new causes to support—all from a convenient mobile app.

You can contribute to your Uncommon Giving donor-advised fund using cash, appreciated securities like stocks and ETFs, and supported cryptocurrencies.
 
In many cases, donating long‑term appreciated assets directly may avoid capital gains tax and allow a potential fair‑market‑value deduction, subject to IRS limits and your personal tax situation. Uncommon Giving does not provide tax or legal advice. Donors should consult their own advisors to understand the tax implications of contributions to a donor‑advised fund.Fund your Uncommon Giving DAF with:

  • Cash (checks, ACH, wires, and card-based gifts routed into the DAF)
  • Publicly traded securities (individual stocks, ETFs, mutual funds) – especially appreciated positions held more than one year.
  • Cryptocurrencies (for example, Bitcoin, Ether, and other supported coins, typically transferred in kind).
  • Other non‑cash assets where supported by the sponsor, such as:
  • Restricted or concentrated stock positions.
  • Interests in private businesses, private equity, or hedge funds (with due diligence and pre-approval).
  • Real estate or other complex assets, if your operations and partners allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

A charitable giving account, also known as a donor-advised fund (DAF), is a personal fund where you hold money that’s dedicated to charitable giving. You can add money to the account at any time (and receive a tax deduction that year!), then donate it to various nonprofits later.

You add money to your Uncommon Wallet in the form of cash, stocks, cryptocurrencies, or other appreciated assets that you want to donate to charity in the future. If your employer uses Uncommon Giving, they can also add funds to your account.

Then, you decide when, how, and to which organizations you want to distribute the money. At the end of the year, you get one streamlined tax receipt that includes all of your donations.

For example, say that you added $1,000 to your Wallet over the course of the year. You might give $100 to Habitat for Humanity in April, $500 to a disaster relief campaign in August, and $20 each month to a local nonprofit. At the end of the year, you’ll receive a single tax receipt for your $1,000 contribution, and you can save the remaining amount to donate later!
