Instead of collecting donation receipts from every nonprofit you support throughout the year, Uncommon Giving generates a single consolidated tax receipt for all contributions to your wallet — simplifying your year-end filing.
If your employer uses Uncommon Giving, link your account with your work email to unlock employer match contributions, payroll giving, and company giving campaigns — all flowing into the same wallet you already use.

Donor-advised funds have historically been a tool for the wealthy. Uncommon Giving changes that — giving every individual access to the same tax-efficient giving strategies previously reserved for high-net-worth donors.
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.
"I never knew I could donate stock directly to charity until Uncommon Giving. I avoided a significant capital gains bill and gave more than I ever had in a single year — all from my phone in about ten minutes."

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 to various nonprofits later. The Uncommon Wallet is Uncommon Giving's version of a DAF, designed to be accessible to everyone with no minimum balance and no account fees.
You add money to your Uncommon Wallet in the form of cash, stocks, cryptocurrencies, or other appreciated assets. If your employer uses Uncommon Giving, they can also add funds to your account via payroll giving or employer grants. Then you decide when, how, and to which organizations you want to distribute the money. At the end of the year, you receive one consolidated tax receipt covering all your contributions — not a separate receipt from each nonprofit. For example: you add $1,000 to your wallet over 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. One receipt covers it all.
Yes — it's completely free to create an Uncommon Giving account as an individual. There's no charge to join, no monthly fees, and no minimum balance required. You can open an account and start browsing nonprofits before you've deposited anything.
There is no minimum balance required to open and maintain an Uncommon Giving charitable giving account. You can donate as little as $10 or as much as you like at any time. Funds stay in your wallet indefinitely until you choose to distribute them.
You can contribute cash (via ACH, debit card, or credit card), publicly traded securities such as individual stocks and ETFs (especially appreciated positions held more than one year), and supported cryptocurrencies in partnership with DonateStock. In certain cases, other non-cash assets may also be accepted. Donating long-term appreciated assets directly may allow you to avoid capital gains tax and claim a fair-market-value deduction, subject to IRS limits and your personal tax situation. Uncommon Giving does not provide tax or legal advice — consult your own advisor.
Yes. You don't need to work for a company that uses Uncommon Giving to open your own Uncommon Wallet. You can create a free account independently at any time.
