Hillwood will only accept a grant from a DAF if the donor-advisor indicates the preference to waive all sponsorship benefits that are incidental, such as event tickets. In keeping with the various rules of DAFs, Hillwood cannot accept a personal payment to cover the benefits portion associated with a sponsorship gift.
