A payment network connecting nonprofits to the $234B in DAFs
Chariot’s a payment option that nonprofits can add to their website, allowing donors to ‘one-click’ give with their Donor Advised Fund. Chariot enables this by creating a network connecting Donor Advised Funds and nonprofits. Charities add our “Pay with DAF” widget to their website/payment page. Donors click the button, log in to their DAF account, and make a payment in 3 clicks. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a specialized financial account used for the purpose of charitable giving. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants (that become donations) to 501(c)3 charities over time.
