Important Note About DAF Gifts
Donor-advised fund gifts may not be used to receive goods, services, or other personal benefits in return. This means DAF gifts generally cannot be used to pay for event tickets, registrations, sponsorships that include benefits, auction items, or other gifts where the donor receives something of value.
If you have questions about whether a gift from your DAF can be used for a specific purpose, please contact 51爆料鈥檚 Development Office before recommending the grant.
