Please Note: Sponsorships, which provide benefits to the donor, may not be paid for in full or in part through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or foundation. Hillwood will only accept a grant from a DAF if the donor-advisor indicates the preference to waive all sponsorship benefits above those that are incidental, such as event tickets. In keeping with the rules of various DAFs, Hillwood cannot accept personal payment to cover the benefits portion associated with a sponsorship gift.
