Give with your Donor Advised Fund

The Rise and Respond Foundation Inc. partners with Givebutter to facilitate Donor Advised Fund (DAF) contributions in a secure and efficient manner. This page is intended exclusively for Donor Advised Fund grants and should only be used when recommending a grant from an established DAF through an eligible sponsoring organization.

Important Notice:
While credit card and mobile wallet payment options may appear on this page due to platform functionality, they must not be used to initiate a Donor Advised Fund contribution. DAF grants must be initiated directly through your DAF sponsoring organization and submitted as a grant recommendation to the Rise and Respond Foundation.

This page should not be used for personal donations, credit card payments, bank transfers, mobile wallets, or any form of recurring or monthly giving. Donor Advised Fund contributions are one-time grants only and cannot be scheduled as recurring donations under IRS and DAF sponsor regulations.

Purpose and Use of DAF Contributions

DAF grants received by the Rise and Respond Foundation support the organization’s general charitable operations and mission-aligned programs, including education initiatives, community engagement, leadership development, and other qualified nonprofit activities. In accordance with federal regulations, all DAF grants must be unrestricted, and the Foundation retains full legal discretion and control over the acceptance, allocation, and use of all DAF funds.

DAF Compliance and Legal Disclaimers

To comply with IRS regulations and DAF sponsoring organization requirements:

• Donor Advised Fund grants must be unrestricted and may not be directed to specific individuals.

• No goods, services, memberships, event access, sponsorship benefits, or other privileges may be provided in exchange for a DAF grant.

• DAF contributions may not be used to satisfy legally binding pledges, tuition payments, event tickets, sponsorships with benefits, or any personal or contractual obligations.

• Donor recommendations are non-binding, and the Rise and Respond Foundation retains full discretion and control over all DAF funds.

• DAF grants are not eligible for additional charitable tax receipts, as tax deductions are received at the time of contribution to the DAF sponsoring organization.

• DAF grants may not be used for recurring or monthly donations.

All DAF contributions are reviewed prior to acceptance to ensure full compliance with IRS regulations, sponsoring organization policies, and nonprofit governance standards.
