Your intent. Structured. Durable. Yours.
The Intent DAF™ is the donor's voice, made to last. A living record of what you care about — guiding your giving today, protecting your legacy tomorrow, and governing the agents who'll soon give on your behalf.
Donor intent has always been the most important and least protected thing in philanthropy.
Misread while you're alive
Your intent lives in your head, in scattered conversations, in vague gift agreements. Even the people closest to your giving don't always get it right.
Rewritten after you're gone
Restricted gifts drift. Institutional memory fades. Family members disagree. The donor's voice becomes whatever the room decides it was.
Unprotected as agents arrive
AI agents will soon recommend gifts, draft appeals, and direct giving on your behalf. Without structured intent, they're operating on prompts — fragile, unverifiable, prone to drift.
The Solution
One artifact. Three jobs.
Guide
Your giving today.
“Should I support this new ask?”
Your Intent DAF™ reflects your values back to you and helps you decide with clarity.
Protect
Your legacy tomorrow.
“What did Mom actually want?”
Your Intent DAF answers in your own voice, with your own reasoning, decades after the conversation ended.
Govern
The agents acting on your behalf.
“Should this agent send this gift?”
Your Intent DAF is the guardrail every agent must consult before acting.
The Framework
Your giving has a signature. The Intent DAF™ reveals it.
Most giving tools track only money. The Intent DAF captures the full pattern of how you give — across three modes and five forms — producing a signature unique to you.

How It Works
From conversation to compounding clarity.
- 01
Begin a conversation.
Answer thoughtful prompts about your purpose, values, and constraints. Takes 15–30 minutes for a first pass.
- 02
Build your graph.
Your responses generate a structured record — Purposes, Values, Commitments, Constraints — that you can review, edit, and confirm.
- 03
Confirm and own it.
Your Intent DAF™ is yours. Portable. Inheritable. Exportable as a Statement document you can share with family, advisors, and the institutions you support.
- 04
Let it work for you.
Use it to guide your own decisions, share it with your successors, and authorize agents to act within its guardrails.
Who It's For
Three doors into the same house.
Building
For donors building their giving practice.
If you're actively shaping how you give and want clarity that compounds over time, the Intent DAF™ is your durable thinking partner.
Protecting
For donors protecting a legacy.
If you've given for decades and want to ensure your purpose survives the people, institutions, and generations that will steward it after you, the Intent DAF is your voice made permanent.
Preparing
For donors preparing for agentic giving.
If you anticipate AI agents acting on your behalf — recommending, drafting, directing — the Intent DAF is the guardrail that ensures every agent action is checkable against your actual intent.
The Pair
Your financial DAF holds your assets. Your Intent DAF™ holds your purpose.
Use them together. They were always meant to be a pair.
Intent DAF™ is a product of GiveIQ LLC. It is not a 501(c)(3) sponsoring organization, does not custody assets, and does not provide tax-advantaged charitable vehicles. It is a structured intent record designed to complement your existing giving infrastructure.
For Institutions
For the institutions who serve donors.
If you advise donors, manage family wealth, or steward a foundation, the Intent DAF™ is the deployment layer your AI strategy has been missing.
Every wealth advisor, family office, and foundation is being asked the same question: how do we responsibly use AI in our clients' giving? The default answer today is to hire consultants — to interview principals, document values, build custom guardrails, and monitor for drift. It's slow, expensive, and doesn't scale.
The Intent DAF replaces the consulting engagement with a product. Your principal sits with the tool. Their intent is structured and stored. Every agent — now and in the future — reads from the same durable record. AI-enabled philanthropic services become a product capability, not a project.
Founder's Note
"I've spent thirty years leading nonprofits and watching donors give. The most valuable thing any donor brings isn't their money — it's their intent. And it's the thing we're worst at preserving. Gift agreements fade. Conversations are forgotten. Successors guess. And now, agents are starting to act on donors' behalf without a clear record of what those donors actually want.
The Intent DAF™ is the answer I wish I'd had to give donors twenty years ago. It's the donor's voice, structured, owned, and built to last. I built it because the next era of giving — agentic, intergenerational, compounding — depends on getting this right."
