DAF giving FAQ
What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?
A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a tax-deductible donation, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants to qualified charities over time. It's like a charitable savings account that gives you flexibility in your giving.
How long does it take for my grant to reach The Chahal Foundation?
Most DAF sponsors process grant recommendations within 1-2 weeks. Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable typically process within 5-7 business days. We acknowledge receipt within 48 hours of receiving your grant.
Can I designate my DAF grant for a specific program?
Yes! When you recommend your grant, you can include a note specifying which program or campaign you want to support (e.g., Education, Food Security, Child Protection, or Emergency Response). We honor all designations.
Is there a minimum grant amount?
Each DAF sponsor has their own minimum grant amount, typically ranging from $50 to $500. We gratefully accept grants of any size that your DAF sponsor allows.
What if my DAF sponsor isn't listed?
We accept grants from all DAF sponsors and community foundations. Simply search for "The Chahal Foundation" or use our EIN (39-5160137) in your DAF portal. If you need assistance, contact us and we'll help.
Will I receive an acknowledgment letter?
Your DAF sponsor provides your tax documentation. However, we will send you a thank you letter confirming receipt of your grant if you include your contact information or notify us of your grant recommendation.
