DAF grants to ministries

You match if

Churches and other qualifying public charities may receive donor-recommended NCF grants, subject to tax-exempt-status and values review.

You’ll need

  • An NCF giver recommends a grant; NCF reviews a new charity before issuing funds.
  • Our note: Develop a relationship with an existing NCF donor and ask the local NCF team what charity documentation is needed. Do not treat “rolling” as an open competitive application.

Watch for

  • NCF does not accept grant applications. A donor recommendation initiates review; a charity or grant purpose that fails eligibility or values checks is not approved.
  • Not confirmed: a recipient match, recipient application fee or minimum grant under this listing. Donor fund costs are not automatically charges to the recipient church.
  • Charity page reviewed, including explicit statement that NCF does not accept grant applications.
  • Public eligibility and donor recommendation process reviewed; linked detailed giving guide not reviewed.
