A payment network connecting nonprofits to the $229B in DAFs
Chariot is building financial products for nonprofits, starting with the first ever online payment system connecting Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) with nonprofits. DAF’s have $230 billion in assets and grant out over $52 billion per year to nonprofits. It’s the fastest growing segment of philanthropy, by far. Chariot now powers seamless DAF giving for tens of thousands of nonprofits, including some of the most well-known nonprofits in the country, like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Central Park Conservancy, Boys & Girls Club of America, Pan-Mass Challenge, and March of Dimes. DAFpay is also now a primary payment option on leading fundraising platforms like GoFundMe, Givebutter, DonorDrive, Springboard by Jackson River, Engaging Networks, and dozens more. We are already driving tens of millions in new online DAF Giving by thousands of donors, and we’re only getting started.
