How to recommend a grant

  1. Log in to your DAF account. This may be at a national sponsor (for example, the charitable arms of large investment firms), a community foundation, or a Jewish federation or Jewish community foundation.
  2. Search for "Kesser Shem Tov," or enter our EIN 82-2020077. If your sponsor lists us under our legal name, that's us.
  3. Enter the amount and choose how it's used. Pick "where needed most" or name a purpose, for example the Building Campaign, Chanukah, or general support.
  4. Add a note for the shul. Use the "purpose" or "special instructions" field to write your name, or to say the gift is in honor or memory of someone.
  5. Choose whether to share your name. Most sponsors let you share your name and address with the charity. Please do, so we can thank you. You may also give anonymously.
  6. Let us know (optional). Fill out the short form below so we can watch for your gift. DAF grants can take several days to a few weeks to arrive.

Good to know

  • Your tax deduction came when you funded your DAF. Your DAF sponsor provides your tax receipt. When the grant arrives, our accounting office will send you a written acknowledgment of the gift (if your sponsor shares your name with us).
  • DAF grants can't pay for personal benefits. IRS rules don't allow a DAF grant to pay for anything that benefits you or your family, such as dinner or event tickets, raffle tickets, or the meal portion of a sponsorship. Please pay for those directly. A DAF grant is perfect for general tzedakah, the Building Campaign, or dedications that carry no personal benefit.
  • Pledges: if you'd like a DAF grant to go toward a pledge, please check your sponsor's policy first.
  • Year-end: sponsors get busy in December. For a gift to arrive in 2026, please recommend it early. See our Year-End Giving page (https://www.beischabad.org/year-end-giving).

Please consult your tax advisor about your own situation. This page is general information, not tax or legal advice.
