Yeah it wasn't clear from reading this article whether or not doing this up front has tax or other benefits that allow the ultimate donated amount to be larger, or it is just a precommitment device.

It allows you to significantly mitigate tax in high-income years (e.g., an exit) while providing a steady flow of money to charity even in lower income years.

  Does the timing of the pledge have benefits or only the ultimate donation?

    The tax deduction happens when the money (or stock/equity) leaves your (direct) control and is deposited in the DAF. Later suggested donations from the DAF to charities are not tax-deductible.
