DAF Giving

Grant to the prairie from your donor-advised fund

If you give through a donor-advised fund, a grant recommendation takes about three minutes — and it puts your fund to work restoring native prairie in the Loess Hills.

Good to know about DAF grants
  • Your tax deduction happened when you contributed to your fund — a DAF grant carries no additional deduction, so we send a grant acknowledgment rather than a tax receipt.
  • IRS rules mean DAF grants can't fulfill a personal pledge or provide you any benefit — event tickets, dinners, or merchandise. Grants support the mission directly.
  • The check arrives from your sponsor, not from you — which is exactly why the note below helps us thank the right human.
Tell Us

Let us know your grant is on its way

Optional, but genuinely helpful — sponsor checks sometimes arrive with no donor details at all. A quick note here is how we connect your grant to you.

Private and non-binding — this just helps us match your sponsor's check when it arrives. We never share your information.
