# Funds Delivery Times

Your organization may receive gifts from two sources: [DAFpay](/dafpay/editor.md) and [Disbursements](/disbursements/for-grantmakers.md). The delivery method and timing of these gifts depend on your organization’s account status and whether you’ve completed Chariot Deposit Account (CDA) verification.

Below is a breakdown of when to expect your first gifts based on your setup:

### ✅ If Your Chariot Account Is Claimed

**DAFpay Gifts** are delivered according to the DAF provider’s timeline—typically within 1–2 weeks after initiation, though it may vary depending on the provider's internal processing time. See DAFpay [Flow of Funds](/dafpay/flow-of-funds.md)

**Grantmaker partner gifts** will be sent electronically within minutes of approval and funds release. See [For Nonprofits](/disbursements/for-nonprofits.md)

***

### 🚫 If Your Chariot Account Is Not Claimed

**DAFpay Gifts** will be held by the DAFpay Network for 60 days. If the account remains unclaimed, a check will be mailed to your IRS-registered address after that period. See DAFpay [Flow of Funds](/dafpay/flow-of-funds.md)

**Grantmaker partner gifts** will be sent by check after 7 days of gift initiation if the account is still unclaimed.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** To receive all gifts electronically and without delay, we recommend completing your Chariot Deposit Account setup as soon as possible.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.givechariot.com/getting-started/funds-delivery-times.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
