Chariot

Chariot is the leading payments platform for charitable giving, best known for DAFpay — the first donor-advised fund (DAF) payment option, named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025. Its REST API lets nonprofits, fundraising platforms, and grantmakers connect donor-advised funds, accept DAF donations through the embeddable Chariot Connect flow, move grant money via disbursements and inbound transfers, subscribe to webhook events, and read connected bank-account data through a Financial Data Exchange (FDX) v6 open-banking API. Chariot is building financial infrastructure for the multi-hundred-billion-dollar donor-advised fund market, the fastest-growing segment of philanthropy.

Chariot publishes 29 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, Authorization Tokens API, Connects API, and 26 more. Tagged areas include Payments, Donor Advised Funds, Charitable Giving, Nonprofit, and Fintech.

The Chariot catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Chariot’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 28 more developer resources.
