If I recall correctly, in a Facebook thread in the GWWC group, Julia Wise indicated that she thought giving to a DAF would be in-keeping with the spirit of the Pledge, but (maybe) that just investing regularly with the intention of giving later wouldn’t be. But I may be misremembering, and I don’t know if this was codified somewhere, so maybe I/you/someone should reach out to Luke Freeman (who now runs GWWC) or start a public discussion about this.

Giving to a DAF is definitely within the spirit of the pledge and many members do this. We’ll be updating the big long FAQ page soon but in the meantime this is one of the FAQs on the Pledge page.
