   Chariot is a financial technology company focused on Donor Advised Fund payments. We create better DAF giving experiences for donors, nonprofits and DAF providers. Chariot’s DAFpay is the first and only DAF payment option that embeds easy DAF giving into any donation form or nonprofit website where someone is inspired to give. DAFpay lets donors use their DAF in 3 clicks, helps nonprofits spur more DAF giving with more useful + instant donor details, and helps DAF providers add new utility to their DAF accounts. Chariot’s other product, Chariot Disbursements*, solves operational challenges for DAFs and nonprofits, enabling a faster, easier, safer way to send & receive grant payments.DAFpay is on over nonprofits’ donation forms, including American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the University of Pennsylvania. Chariot Disbursements is utilized by all kinds of DAFs, including Daffy and the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation.*Chariot is a financial technology company, not a bank.
