If a charity does not claim its funds within 60 days, despite reminders including emails, calls, and letters, DAFpay Network (DPN) will issue a check.

Issued checks are valid for 90 days. After this period, unclaimed funds will be voided.

While we take all reasonable steps to attempt to grant donated funds according to the donor's recommendation, DPN retains exclusive legal control over all donations. In the rare cases when a charity does not claim the donation, we will (whenever possible) ask the donor to recommend an enrolled charity from the DPN Directory to benefit from the donation.

If we are unable to reach the donor, or the donor chooses not to respond, DPN will try to grant the funds to a charity in the DPN Directory that operates in a similar cause area to the charity originally recommended by the donor.

A surcharge of $25 or 10% of the check amount (whichever is lower) will be applied for each check sent to nonprofits. Charities that create an account with Chariot will not incur these check issuance fees on any grants sent after enrolling.
