We’re thrilled to announce our newest partnership with DAFpay by Chariot!
Did you know $230 billion in Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) has yet to be distributed to nonprofits? With DAF donors proven to make 19x larger gifts, breaking the barriers associated with donating through DAFs represents a huge opportunity for impact. Together, with DAFpay by Chariot, we are unlocking billions more in nonprofit donations by providing a seamless way for donors to easily use their Donor Advised Fund right when they’re inspired to give on Pledge - in just 3 clicks.
“There are now more than 3 million people using DAFs to improve their philanthropy,” says Salomon Serfati, CEO & Co-founder of Chariot. “Integrating DAF giving right into the standard online donation flow results in a radically improved experience for donors, more money for nonprofits, and more DAF usage overall.”

What Are Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)?
DAFs are the fastest-growing vehicle in philanthropy. These accounts allow donors to contribute to their DAF, receive immediate tax benefits, and recommend grants to charities over time. As DAFpay by Chariot explains, you can think of a DAF as a tax-advantaged savings account specifically for charitable giving, similar to a 401(k) or HSA.
The Power of DAFpay by Chariot with Pledge
In the past year, DAFs have granted over $50 billion to nonprofits, with assets totaling $230 billion and being used by more than 3 million individuals. With DAFpay by Chariot integrated into Pledge, donating your DAF funds when you’re inspired to support has never been simpler.
“By enabling seamless donor-advised fund contributions to any of Pledge’s nearly two million nonprofits, we’re revolutionizing the way donors can easily and sustainably support their favorite causes,” says James Citron, CEO at Pledge. “This collaboration with DAFpay by Give Chariot breaks down the barriers traditionally associated with DAF contributions, unlocking their potential as a major force in philanthropy with rapid growth.
