Overview

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.

DAF Processor

Positive, easy and user-friendly.

PROS

Chariot was very easy to integrate with our GiveButter fundraising campaign. They also are very proactive in sending supporting marketing materials, tips and virtual follow-ups.

CONS

We just started using it so I'm not sure yet what I like least.

Chariot is helping us get to DAF Zero!

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

Reason 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!

Chariot is a game changer!

The team is fantastic and readily available to answer any and all questions.

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

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!

Opening up so many avenues!

Great--helpful team and very early on in our use, we were able to team up with Chariot for our early year fundraising efforts

PROS

Love that we can now account for our DAF-issued contributions real-time, something we've never been able to do since our inception

CONS

Donors have to choose between contributing through DAF on our giving page or making their gift recurring

Review of Chariot

PROS

Chariot helps us reach donors with ease!

CONS

I feel as though the target audience is difficult to reach. Those with DAF's are not easily reachable.
