Create Grant

Create and submit a new grant. This should be used to capture a grant intent from an authorized DAFpay workflow session and submit the grant request to the DAF sponsor.

Error handling:

  • The grant must be captured within 15 minutes of authorization otherwise the request will return status 410 Gone.
  • A grant can only be captured once from any given workflow session so any duplicate requests will return status 409 Conflict.
  • The amount must be in whole dollar increments (rounded to the nearest hundred) as currently DAFs only accept whole dollar grants otherwise the request will return status 400 Bad Request.
  • The amount must be greater than or equal to the minimum grant amount for the DAF otherwise the request will return status 400 Bad Request.
  • The amount must be less than or equal to the user’s DAF account balance otherwise the request will return status 400 Bad Request.
  • Any inputs exceeding the maximum allowed length will be automatically truncated.

This parameter specifies the fee your platform plans to take from the grant in cents. This is a fee in addition to Chariot’s processing fee.
