Built for confidence, from donor to delivery

Donors are naturally cautious. Nonprofit payments are fraud-prone. DAF providers shoulder the risk. Chariot bridges the gap and raises the bar for security and trust.

  • Security

    End-to-end encryption and role-based permissions protect every transaction.

  • Data Privacy

    Strict policies govern what’s stored and shared — never fundholder login or balance info.

  • Compliance

    IRS eligibility checks, banking requirements, and ongoing monitoring across all products.
