DAF Academy by Chariot

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) have become a crucial source of support for nonprofits, but many organizations face challenges in effectively tapping into this potential. 42% of nonprofits find that knowing how to ask for DAF gifts is their biggest hurdle. However, nonprofits that proactively solicit DAF gifts raise 2.2 times more from Donor Advised Funds! To bridge this gap and empower nonprofit fundraisers, Chariot created the first DAF Academy—an innovative platform designed to turn a nonprofit professional at any point in their career into a DAF pro.
