Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recommend a recurring DAF grant?
Many donor-advised fund sponsors allow donors to schedule recurring grant recommendations. Availability and scheduling options vary, so please confirm the process with your DAF sponsor or adviser.
Can my grant support a specific county or program?
You may recommend an eligible local designation when submitting your grant. Please contact United Way of Northwest Illinois before making the recommendation so we can confirm that the county or program designation can be accepted and properly applied.
Can I receive event tickets or other benefits?
Donor-advised fund grants generally cannot provide the donor, donor adviser or a related person with more than an incidental benefit. Contact your DAF sponsor before using a grant in connection with tickets, admission, memberships or other benefits.
