Creating a Chariot account for your nonprofit takes ~30 seconds. Simply visit our signup page and follow the 3 steps described below.

  1. Create your account

  2. Verify your email

  3. Connect your profile to your nonprofit

Note: Chariot only allows one free user account per nonprofit. If you want to register multiple users to your organization's Chariot account you will need to upgrade to a Chariot subscription plan that includes multiple admin accounts.

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 record is not listed on the GuideStar database. To proceed, you’ll need an up-to-date GuideStar profile. Read more about claiming your GuideStar profile here.


How to finish setting up your account

User Verification: If the email address you used to register does not match the web domain we have on file for the organization, you will see the following "Notice" banner in your dashboard.

Please wait 1-3 days for your profile to be approved by our accounts team, or create a new account with an email address associated with the listed web domain.


Selecting a plan

Large nonprofits can further optimize their DAF fundraising with Chariot's premium plans, starting at $450/month. Our subscription plans include:

  • Volume Discounts on Processing Fees - Get all of your DAFpay gifts up to the volume limit included in your plan with 0% processing fees. Processing fees would only kick in for any volume processed above your account limit.

  • DAFpay Components - Access our array of no-code, copy & paste DAFpay tools that enable your DAF donors to give across all touch points (e.g., Main Donate Forms, P2P campaigns, etc.) See more on how nonprofits use DAFpay components.
