Chariot 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About Chariot

Chariot is a payment option nonprofits add to their website or donation form to accept DAF donations. Chariot gives nonprofits the opportunity to tap into the over $234 billion that sits in Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) by allowing donors to give directly from their DAF on a nonprofit’s website in less than 10 seconds. Chariot offers nonprofits the ability to receive DAF donor information, track DAF donations, increase the overall conversion of DAF donations, and, most importantly, increase the size of charitable contributions by encouraging DAF donations through this 3-step process.

Pros:

As a small non-profit, Chariot has opened doors for me to easily receive small donations from donor-advised funds. Their product is easy to use on my end and includes all of the information that I need when a check is received to properly and easily thank my new donors.

Cons:

Currently, it is still new. I look forward to it being part of all donor-advised funds in our community so it makes giving easier for people to give small amounts more frequently.

Great tool for nonprofits trying to tap into DAFs

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Very easy to use once connected to stripe. Very helpful and easy to send a link around to potential donors without having to do much explaining. Even though it takes a fee only on donations received, it's a very reasonable one that's comparable to other payment processing software.

Cons:

Still doesn't have integrations with Donorbox and other platforms we use, but that will hopefully come in a future update!

Chariot is helping us get to DAF Zero!

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The product is really easy to set up and to use, and the fees charged are minimal-- on par with regular credit card processors

Cons:

Thus far I haven't found any missing features. They're continuing to integrate more popular DAFs, so I'd say I'm eager for the expansion of the integration list

Reasons for choosing Chariot

Chariot is far more user friendly than DAF Direct; has integrated DAF access; and uses smart tech to suggest donation amounts based on DAF balances. Brilliant!
