For the first time ever, supporters can use donor advised funds to support your GoFundMe fundraiser. As long as your fundraiser is benefitting a 501(c)(3) public charity, your supporters can now use DAFpay, and give with their DAFs in just 3-clicks.

Create a Chariot account to unlock the full benefits of DAFpay, including access to the donor’s name, email, and a unique Tracking ID for the DAF gift—ensuring seamless accountability and confirmation of the gift’s successful delivery to the nonprofit connected to your fundraiser.


How to sign up and create an account

Step 1: Register with your organization-affiliated email address (i.e., example@redcross.org) and create a password here. Registration with a non-organization-affiliated email can result in verification delays.

Step 2: Verify your email address. Check your inbox and click the link within the verification email. If you don't see the email after several minutes, make sure to check your spam folder.

Step 3: Build your nonprofit profile.

To build your nonprofit profile, please provide your full name, email address, and search for the nonprofit organization that you would like to register with.

When you click "Next", Chariot will automatically verify that the email address you used to create your account matches the web domain we have on file for the organization.

Note: If you cannot find your nonprofit organization listed on our system, this is likely because your nonprofit is either not listed in the IRS database as a tax-exempt organization, not verified in Publication 78, or does not meet the 501(c)(3) requirements necessary to receive donor advised fund (DAF) gifts.
