Donors need to realize that DAF no longer
belongs to them
◦ Administering charity usually follows, but does not
have to follow donor’s specific recommendations


DAF grants cannot be used to pay existing or
future pledges to charity
Recipient charities cannot provide benefits to
donors for DAF grants received
◦ No “tables” or “tickets” to events
◦ No “donor club” benefits of any kind
