# Recommending gifts

To recommend a gift to a charity from your Gift Account, simply log in to [My Gift Account](http://myga.thegifttrust.org.nz) and click `Recommend a Gift`. We will always follow your recommendations as a Gift Account holder, unless doing so would violate [our policies](https://guide.thegifttrust.org.nz/gifts/our-grants-policy).

We endeavour to process all gift recommendations within ten business days, however a gift may take longer to process if it:

* requires additional due diligence,
* is from a Gift Account managed by a financial adviser, or
* is for more than $25,000 NZD.

To keep your Gift Account [active](https://guide.thegifttrust.org.nz/your-gift-account/opening-a-gift-account#when-succession-occurs), recommend a gift at least every three years.
{% endhint %}

Gifts to unregistered, unincorporated, or international charitable causes generally require additional due diligence, which may attract a [fee](https://thegifttrust.org.nz/how-it-works/fees/) depending on the size and level of activity of your Gift Account.
