SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In celebration of India Day, Milaap, India’s leading crowdfunding platform, has announced the launch of giving through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) into its payment system. This new feature simplifies the process for donors, particularly Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the United States, to contribute to critical causes such as medical emergencies, disaster relief, and micro-finance initiatives with ease.
DAFs have long been recognized for their flexibility and tax efficiency, allowing donors to support causes they care about. However, the traditional process of making donations through DAFs often involved cumbersome paperwork, phone calls, and back-and-forth communications. Milaap’s new integration, powered by DAFPay, transforms this experience. Now, with just three clicks, donors can access their DAF accounts, select a cause, and complete their donation securely and quickly, in just 15 seconds.
DAF also enables matching grants for individual fundraisers, driving more donations from other individuals, thereby increasing impact. To make a contribution through DAF, you can click here.
“Milaap is dedicated to ensuring that online fundraising is as easy, fast, and secure as possible for our users. With the introduction of DAFPay, we are thrilled to offer a seamless donation experience, comparable to the simplicity of Apple Pay or Google Pay. This feature enables global supporters to effortlessly contribute to critical causes like life-saving treatments, education for the underprivileged, memorials, and more. Now, they can make a significant impact on the causes they care about in India, no matter where they are in the world.”- Mayukh Choudhury, Co-Founder, Milaap.
