Once your client has accepted their invitation to the Foundation Source DAF program, the next step is to invite them to add to their account balance with a contribution. There are several accepted DAF contribution methods. As a PCA, you can assist your client to complete the following types of contribution: * [Stock and/or mutual funds](/pca-instructions/contribution-options/fund-your-account.md) * [DAF transfers](/pca-instructions/contribution-options/daf-transfers.md) * [Wire transfers](/pca-instructions/contribution-options/wire-transfers.md) * [Complex assets](/pca-instructions/contribution-options/complex-assets.md) Clients can also make the following contributions independently: * [Bank account](#bank-account) * [Debit / credit cards](#debit-credit-cards) * [Cryptocurrency](#cryptocurrency) * [DAF transfers](#daf-transfers) * [Wire transfers](#wire-transfers) * [Checks](#checks) * [Complex assets](#complex-assets) * [Company matches](#company-matching-giving) {% hint style="info" %} **Does your client have questions about making an independent contribution to their donor-advised fund account?** Your client is encouraged to visit the [Charityvest Guidebook](https://guide.charityvest.org/) or contact Charityvest support via email: {% endhint %} ## Timing expectations Once your client has completed a contribution, depending on the modality, you should see it appear in your client's account balance within 1-2 business days from when it has been received. Once a client contribution is successful, cash must be cleared into Charityvest's partner financial institution before it can be sent to charity or invested. As a general rule, you should expect your client's contributed amount to be fully available[ ](/pca-instructions/enable-investing.md)within 3 business days of the successful transaction being posted to their account. {% hint style="info" %} **Curious to learn more about the Foundation Source DAF program?** Contact for any program or product-related matters. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://pcadafguide.foundationsource.com/pca-instructions/contribution-options.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
