Requesting A Grant

Helping your client make a difference.

The Directors of ACGFund are waiting to help you make a grant from a Donor Account. All you need to request your grant is available to you within your online account. Simply choose Grants from the header and select “Recommend and Grant”. This will open a grant form, and prompt you to complete all the required information to request a grant from the account.

A dropdown menu is available to assist you in locating a suitable charity. This allows you to search by name, tax Id number, zip code or city and state. An online form will prompt you for all required information to complete your grant request. If you would like to make this a scheduled event, simply choose that option when choosing the timing of your grant.

If your desired grant recipient is not within the drop down menu, select the “Suggest a New Charity” option and provide as much information as possible on the charity. We will research, and if applicable provide you confirmation of the charity. In the future this charity will appear within the drop down menu.

Extending successive grants to the same charity can be accomplished by selecting a past grant using the “Grants Listing” under the Grants header. Select a past completed grant and choose the Repeat button, and input the required information to complete your grant recommendation.

The minimum grant administered by the Fund is $250. There may be a fee assessed for a grant. This is a pass through cost only; wires from trust companies used by ACGFund may cost $20 and this expense will be passed through to your Donor Account. ACGFund does not charge for grant administration.


Please note that a grant cannot be used to fulfill a pre-existing pledge to a charitable organization. A grant cannot be used to pay for membership fees, dues, tuition, benefit tickets or goods bought at charitable auctions.

Which Nonprofit?

The Directors of ACGFund believe that you, a Donor Advisor, are best qualified to recommend grants.

You know which nonprofits fulfill a mission your clients cherish and which nonprofits express their values. If you need more information on a charity, click “view charity details” next to the selected charity and receive a more detailed view of the entity.

ACGFund is permitted to make grants to any qualified nonprofit - any charitable organization that is tax-exempt as described in Code Section 501(c) 3.

Grant requests to for-profit corporations, private foundations or foreign charitable organizations cannot be fulfilled. (However, many foreign charitable organizations have developed relationships with United States nonprofits!)

All grants from ACGFund must be made in a manner that is consistent with the charitable purposes of the Fund.
