Chariot is a New York-based fintech building financial infrastructure for the donor-advised fund market, a fast-growing segment of philanthropy. Its gift processing platform provides an end-to-end solution for DAF payments, including workplace giving. The platform links a financial account with data transformation to address an operational challenge that costs U.S. nonprofits and grantmakers millions of hours annually. The company operates with a small to mid-sized team. DAFpay, the industry's first DAF payment option, is embedded on donation forms for more than 100,000 nonprofits, including the American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the University of Pennsylvania. The service has earned recognition as a TIME Best Invention of 2025. A recent partnership expanded its reach, with an integration announced in 2024 with SensePass Ltd., enhancing how nonprofits receive and process donations.
