There’s a new way for donors to give on Givecloud—and it might just change everything about how your nonprofit thinks about generosity.
Introducing DAFpay, our newest integration that brings Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) directly into your Giving Experience. That means donors can now give through their DAF account in just a few clicks, right from the same donation form they already trust and love.
Here’s why this matters.
What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?
A Donor Advised Fund (or DAF) is a charitable account donors open through a sponsoring organization. Donors contribute into it—often for a tax benefit—then recommend grants to their favorite nonprofits whenever they feel inspired.
It’s kind of like pre-loading generosity.
The money is already set aside for charity. The only thing missing? A meaningful way for that donor to connect it with the causes they care about. That’s where you come in.
With over $140,000 sitting in the average DAF, these accounts represent not just potential but intention. DAF donors want to give—they just need a moment that moves them, and a way to act on it easily.
DAFpay brings that moment to life.
Why is DAFpay a Game-Changer?
With DAFpay now built into Givecloud, you can:
- Access larger gifts: The average DAFpay gift is over $1,000.
- Reduce friction: What was once a 15-click process is now just 3.
- Build better relationships: Unlike traditional DAF disbursements, you receive the donor’s name, email, and mailing address—giving you the opportunity to thank, steward, and retain.
- Support from over 300 DAFs: Including Fidelity Charitable, Schwab, Vanguard, and many more.
This isn’t just a payment method. It’s a powerful shift in how your supporters can express their generosity.
How Does It Work on Givecloud?
Chariot’s DAFpay technology makes it easier than ever for donors to support their favorite nonprofits using their Donor Advised Funds.
Now integrated with Givecloud, DAFpay simplifies and streamlines the process—putting this powerful giving method directly into your Giving Experience.
Here’s how it works:
- DAFpay is built into your donation form – A trusted payment option. No redirects. No confusion.
- Donors select DAFpay – From the list of payment options, donors choose DAFpay and login to their provider to access their DAF account.
- Donors complete their gift in just 3 clicks – Fast, familiar, and secure.
