Engage, empower and serve your donors.

Donor-advised fund (DAF) programs are rapidly becoming the centerpiece for many donor development and relationship management strategies, but a barebones program is no longer enough. Today, donors expect more.

DonorFirst delivers on the unfulfilled promise of previous DAF technology by providing donors, staff and grant recipients with an online social and cultural environment tailored to support comprehensive charitable activity. Crown's unique donor dashboard provides consolidated reporting to donors across multiple charitable instruments, including endowments, charitable trusts, DAFs and gift annuities, and brings together donor families, staff and your community in shared purpose.

Whether you are a community foundation, college, university, or faith based organization with an existing DAF program or are ready to launch a new program, DonorFirst enables you to better engage, empower and service your constituency.
