Get started anyway with Chariot's solutions that can work for any nonprofit, even without a direct fundraising platform integration.
1. Double Check:
We regularly update our integrations. Keep an eye on our Integration Page to ensure you have the latest info.
Pro tip: Follow Chariot on Linkedin and Sign-up for our newsletter to see the latest integrations, announcements, and other news.
2. Reach out to your fundraising platform account representative
The most important thing to do once you confirm the integration doesn't exist is to reach out to your fundraising platform's account representative and ask for the integration. Chariot's integration is quick and easy, so typically it's a matter of letting your fundraising platform know you want it.
Pro tip: Make sure to cc "partners@givechariot.com" so we're aware of your request and so that your fundraising platform can easily reach out to follow up.

Subject: Integration with Chariot for DAF payments?
Hi [Account manager name],
I hope you're doing well.
I'm reaching out because I'd really like to be able to receive Donor Advised Fund payments on my [FP name] donation forms.
I know there's a platform Chariot that offers Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) payments. I see they integrate with dozens of fundraising platforms but not [FP name].
Chariot powers DAFpay, a 3 click DAF payment option that will streamline our DAF fundraising efforts and enhance the giving experience for our high-value DAF donors. Donor Advised Funds are an important part of our fundraising strategy.
We kindly request you discuss the possibility of an integration with the Chariot team, CC’d on this thread.
Sincerely,
[Name]
[Position]
[Nonprofit Name]
