Tips for Recommending Grants from a Donor-Advised Fund
- If you would like your grant to be delivered to the recommended grantee by December 31, please submit your recommendation by 5:00 p.m., Friday, December 17. We cannot guarantee that grant recommendations received after December 17 will be mailed before year-end.
- Access DonorCentral to make grant recommendations and view details of your fund by visiting rcfstl.org/gateway.
- When submitting multiple grant recommendations through DonorCentral, click “Save for Later” rather than “Submit” after checking “I Agree.” This will allow you to review your list and submit collectively from the Home page.
- For assistance in recommending grants, please contact Christina Duepner, Senior Accountant. christina.duepner@rcfstl.org | 314.918.2895
