Submitting a grant recommendation to iGiftFund is easy. However, despite the best of intentions, sometimes a donor’s grant recommendation is delayed or isn’t approved when it appears that it won’t be used for only charitable purposes.
If you keep the following in mind, you can help minimize processing delays: A grant must be recommended exclusively for charitable purposes. Among other things, this means that you cannot recommend:
- A grant to a non-charitable organization
- A grant from which you or your family would receive an impermissible benefit
- A grant for admission to a charitable event if, in exchange for the grant, goods or services will be provided to you or anyone else
- A grant for a specified tuition payment or for a scholarship where the donor(s) or related parties have sole or majority discretion over the recipients
- A grant to cover the cost of memberships where “more than incidental benefits” will be received
- A grant to a an individual
- A grant to satisfy a pre-existing pledge
- A grant to political contributions, or to support political campaign activities
