What daily giving does

Daily Giving is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 83-0829905) founded January 1, 2019 by Dr. Jonathan Donath, headquartered in Teaneck, NJ. The organization operates a pooled micro-donation platform that aggregates small daily contributions — typically $1/day — from individual Jewish donors and distributes the pooled funds to a rotating roster of vetted Jewish beneficiary nonprofits, with a different beneficiary designated each day. As of December 2024 the platform served over 20,000 active Daily Givers and had distributed over $20 million cumulatively to 75+ vetted organizations across causes including healthcare, poverty relief, domestic violence, disability services, education, and Israeli emergency aid.

The platform is built around four core products: the Daily Giving Platform at dailygiving.org for subscription signup, the Donor Portal at portal.dailygiving.org for account management and tax receipts, the Israel Emergency Fund for crisis-specific giving outside the daily rotation, and the Giving Calendar at dailygiving.org/calendar/ for daily impact visibility. The technology is a standard web application featuring a daily beneficiary rotation engine, recurring subscription billing (monthly or annual), and automated daily email impact reports to each giver. No AI/ML capabilities, mobile apps, or third-party API integrations are disclosed.

The business model is direct-to-consumer subscription-based micro-donation: donors subscribe online at $1/day minimum, billed monthly or annually, with 100% of donor contributions passed through to beneficiaries. Operational costs and marketing are funded separately by a private group of donors and grants, allowing Daily Giving to take 0% from donor contributions. Go-to-market relies on daily email engagement, beneficiary story content marketing, and endorsements from a Rabbinical Council including Rabbi Paysach Krohn, Rabbi Hershel Schachter, Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff, and Rabbi Shmuel Greenberg. Leadership is a lean team of approximately 10 including President Dr. Jonathan Donath, COO Arieh Friedner, CFO Moshe Teitelbaum, and CTO/Co-founder Shaul Hen.

Broad incumbents

• Jewish Federations of North America: JFNA is the largest federated giving network serving the Jewish community, pooling donations from individuals and distributing to a wide portfolio of Jewish nonprofits. Direct functional analogue to Daily Giving's federated model but operates at vastly larger scale with regional federation structure.
• JFED (UJA-Federation): UJA-Federation of New York is one of the largest local Jewish federations, pooling donor funds and distributing to a broad portfolio of Jewish beneficiaries. Operates a similar collection-and-distribution model but at much larger scale and with episodic rather than daily giving cadence.
• United Way Worldwide: The canonical federated giving organization in the US, pooling small recurring donations from many givers and distributing to vetted nonprofits. Provides the closest structural analogue to Daily Giving's model outside of the Jewish community context.

Direct peers

• JGive: Israeli Jewish charitable giving platform enabling online donations to vetted Israeli nonprofits with daily and recurring giving options. Closest direct peer in terms of Jewish-focused online micro-donation infrastructure and beneficiary curation model.
• Combined Jewish Philanthropies: Greater Boston's Jewish federation running a similar pooled-donation distribution model to vetted Jewish causes. Comparable in core operating model (federated giving to vetted nonprofits) but anchored to a specific regional footprint rather than a national daily-distribution approach.
• GlobalGiving: Online crowdfunding platform pooling small recurring donations from many donors and distributing to vetted nonprofits globally. Comparable in platform structure, vetting approach, and recurring-donation mechanics though serving a much broader cause portfolio.

Emerging players

• Torah Anytime: Jewish content platform endorsed by Rabbi Paysach Krohn (also a Daily Giving endorser). Represents a parallel community-trust ecosystem within the Orthodox Jewish digital space, comparable in audience and endorsement-driven growth dynamics even though it operates in content rather than giving.
• DonorsChoose: Crowdfunding platform aggregating small individual donations and routing them to vetted causes with transparent reporting on impact. Comparable in donor-experience design (small recurring contributions, transparency on where funds went) though focused on education rather than Jewish causes.
