For me, the DAF was really only worth it when we itemized.
Now that we do not itemize in most years, we will hold our contribution for multiple years and only fund it when we have $25k to give.
I have had no additional paperwork for my DAF though. It’s been super easy. I did just move it from Vanguard to Fidelity, as Vanguard increased their fees for small accounts. I had planned only on donating when it dipped below $1,000, so only every 5 years or so, and therefore it would have hit me hard. Fidelity is much more flexible; Vanguard required $500 disperments, which is sometimes more than I want to give to a particular organization.
