About Chariot
Chariot is a fintech company building financial infrastructure for the $326 billion donor-advised fund (DAF) market, the fastest-growing segment of philanthropy. Our gift processing platform is an end-to-end solution for processing DAF payments, including workplace giving. It combines a financial account with AI-powered data transformation to solve a fast-growing operational challenge that costs the 1.4 million nonprofits and thousands of grantmakers in the U.S. millions of hours annually. DAFpay by Chariot, named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025, is the industry’s first DAF payment option. It is embedded on over 100,000 nonprofits’ donation forms including American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and University of Pennsylvania. Backed by Maveron, Y Combinator, SV Angel, and Spark Capital, our team is committed to empowering nonprofits to achieve their visions. *Chariot is a financial technology company, not a bank.
