Create Grant

POST
/v1/grants

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.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
workflowSessionIdstringRequired

The identifier of the donor’s DAFpay Workflow Session. See Integrating Connect for how to get this value from the DAFpay client-side SDK.

amountdoubleRequired

The grant amount in cents that will be processed by Chariot and submitted to the DAF. This amount must be in whole dollar increments (rounded to the nearest hundred) as currently all DAFs only accept whole dollar grant amounts.

applicationFeeAmountdoubleOptional

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. With application fees, Chariot collects the fee you determine from the nonprofit and passes it to your platform. Please note that platform fees are only taken when the grant is successfully received by the Nonprofit. The sum of Chariot’s fee and the applicationFeeAmount cannot exceed 5% of the grant’s amount. If the fee limit is exceeded, a 400 Bad Request error will be returned.
