You represent and agree that each payment of cash or other transfer of property you have made or hereafter make to The Signatry, unless otherwise expressly agreed beforehand, is a Gift; you represent and agree that a Gift is irrevocable and nonrefundable, does not render you legally insolvent and is not otherwise a voidable transaction, and that The Signatry is the absolute and unconditional legal owner of any property transferred, and maintains full discretion and control as to its use, without limitation other than the broad charitable-use limitation in the next sentence, and the advisory privileges described below.

You further agree and understand that The Signatry may accept or decline to accept any payment of cash or other property you make or purport to make to The Signatry. If The Signatry elects to accept a payment, the Gift is complete at the time of The Signatry’s acceptance. The extent of any charitable deduction depends on the type of asset being contributed and your particular tax situation. Please consult your legal or tax advisor for more information.

Each Gift should be accompanied by all required documentation and the applicable fund number.

An Authorized Person may also provide a Recommendation regarding a grant to be made upon the death or incapacity of a Donor. If any Donor Fund ceases to have any Authorized Person with Complete access (or all such persons are incapacitated), then the board of directors of The Signatry will assume the role of Authorized Person with Complete access relative to such Donor Fund.

You agree that, to the extent you have the ability to provide a Recommendation for a Donor Fund; you will only make Recommendations in accordance with and subject to The Signatry’s policies, procedures, and standards.  These policies and procedures for grants include but are not limited to a minimum grant requirement of $100, submission of proper documentation of the grant Recommendation through the Donor Portal or as otherwise permitted by The Signatry, and review by The Signatry of all grants for compliance with all applicable legal and other requirements.  Additionally, you agree that, to the extent you have the ability to provide a Recommendation for a Donor Fund, you will not make a Recommendation if you anticipate that you or any donor or advisor to the Donor Fund (or any related individual or related entity other than one qualified to receive grants from The Signatry) will receive directly or indirectly any benefit that is more than incidental as a result of the Recommendation or grant. Such benefit includes tuition or payment of other educational costs, admission to any event, and discharge of any pledge or other legal obligation. You further agree that if offered or presented with any such benefit as a result of a Recommendation or grant, you will decline.

• The Signatry Designated Fund: A fund that receives contributions to be distributed to a specific named charity determined when the fund is opened. Generally formed by an individual.

These fees and expenses may include investment fees, nonliquid holding fees, wire transfer fees, stop payments, and other unusual or special handling, processing, delivery fees, or extraordinary or special services. The Signatry will generally attempt to notify you and provide an estimate of these fees and expenses related to any Recommendation you make prior to completing a grant but The Signatry reserves the right to proceed with a grant and apply such actual fees and expenses without prior notice.
