3-click DAF gifts, wherever someone is inspired to give
With a DAF payment option in donation forms, donors can give faster and nonprofits get all the gift information instantly — without all the manual work and delay.
Nonprofits of all stripes raise more with DAFpay
Donor-Advised Funds are the fastest-growing segment of fundraising — but the giving experience is totally disconnected.
Donors can’t easily use their DAF when they’re most inspired to give, nonprofits are left chasing data weeks after a donation is made, and stewardship is nearly impossible.
Chariot’s DAFpay enables seamless DAF giving (and thank yous) in seconds.
The world’s fastest DAF donations right where you want them.
Frictionless for donors
Donors give from their DAF in just a few clicks — without ever leaving your donation form or website.
Greater generosity
DAFpay gifts average $1,000 (median $250). Showing balances at checkout prompts donors to give from their DAF—and give more.
Real-time donor details
Capture DAF donor name and email instantly for rapid, personalized acknowledgements. Better data, deeper relationships.

“The major benefit is the stewardship. It's to be able to see in real time when someone has made a recommendation from their DAF to us, and for us to be able to reach back out to them."
"The decision to add DAFpay was clear and it couldn’t have been easier to set up. The fact that it automatically inserts on the website is perfect..it’s just so easy."
