If your nonprofit has received a DAFpay gift through GoFundMe, congratulations! You’re on your way to benefiting from online DAF giving. Follow these simple steps to claim your gift and start receiving all future donations electronically.
Step 1: Claim Your Chariot Deposit Account
To get started, you’ll need to claim your nonprofit's Chariot Deposit Account - a quick guide on how to do so can be found here.
Step 2: Start Receiving Gifts
Now that you've claimed your organization's Chariot Deposit Account, you'll be able to view & track your DAFpay gifts, as well as automatically begin receiving electronic payments from our Chariot Disbursement Partners.
For DAFs that are not Chariot Disbursement Partners, you will receive funds directly from the DAF provider as you normally would, usually via ACH or check. In these cases, you'll be able to reference the Tracking ID in the grant note for easy reconciliation within your dashboard.
Step 3: Add an External Financial Account
To transfer funds from your Chariot Deposit Account, you'll need to add an External Financial Account within your dashboard. Directions on how to do so can be found here.
Step 4: Set up Billing
If your organization owes any DAFpay initiation fees, Chariot will send invoices to you at the end of each month. If your organization did not receive any gifts via DAFpay in a given month, you will not be invoiced for that month. For more information on how to set up automatic billing, visit this page.
Please Note: Until you claim your nonprofit's Chariot Deposit Account, all DAFpay gifts will go through the DAFpay Network, Chariot's partner 501(c)3. These gifts will be mailed to your nonprofit by check to the address on file with the IRS.
By following these steps, you can maximize the benefits of DAF donations received through GoFundMe and other platforms. To read more about DAFpay's integration with GoFundMe, check out GoFundMe's support page.
