2. Program Overview

Participants can invite Eligible Referrals to open a DAF with Endaoment using their unique Referral Link. If an Eligible Referral opens a DAF and contributes to it, Endaoment will make a Referral Donation to the Participant’s DAF. Endaoment reserves the right to change the Referral Donation amount, timing, or structure without prior notice. Only donations made by the referred party into their DAF are eligible for the program.

Endaoment retains the right to disqualify any Participant or referral at its sole discretion, particularly in cases of non-compliance with this Agreement or applicable laws.

Participants may distribute Referral Links only to Eligible Referrals under the following conditions:

  • Make reasonable efforts to ensure the eligibility of referrals.
  • All marketing, including emails, must comply with Endaoment’s guidelines and applicable laws.
  • Email communications must include an option for recipients to opt out of future communications from the Participant.

Endaoment reserves the right to disqualify Participants distributing Referral Links to ineligible individuals.

Participants must comply with the following:

  • Anti-Bribery Compliance: Compliance with all applicable anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, is mandatory.
  • Export Control Compliance: Participants must follow all applicable export control laws and regulations.

​
5. Termination & Modification of Terms

​
6. Donation Processing

To receive Referral Donations, Participants must ensure all referral activities are tracked through their unique Referral Link.
