A revolutionary way for DAF donors to give

With over 1.3 million accounts and growing at 30% a year, donor-advised funds are gaining rapid mainstream adoption. Despite the rapid growth of online giving, many donor-advised fund donors are still unable to participate in any online fundraising campaigns. 

But now, thanks to the native integration between Givebutter and Chariot, empowering donors to give through a donor-advised fund has never been easier. You can accept DAF donations directly on any Givebutter donation form, fundraising campaign, or website widget!

Give your donors a seamless DAF donation experience

By adding the donor-advised fund button to your Givebutter donation form, donors can quickly access their DAFs at checkout. All donors need to do is select their DAF provider, log in, and submit their request. 

Plus, you’ll get real-time DAF donor and donation information. All of your DAF donations will automatically appear in your Givebutter dashboard with the donation details and relevant contact information, so you can connect directly with your DAF supporters through Givebutter’s email, SMS, and video messaging tools. 

Other benefits you'll enjoy:

• Free DAF widgets 💫 Embed Givebutter's donation forms and donate buttons to accept DAF donations directly on your organization’s website.‍
• Larger donations 💸 The average DAF donation is $4K, and you can invite donors to increase their donation right in Givebutter's donation flow.‍
• More data 💡 Get access to the DAF donor information typically hidden when using other DAF donation methods.‍
• Simple setup ⚡ Start accepting DAF donations for free in just a few minutes—we’ve done all the hard work for you!

Raise more without spending more

Givebutter and Chariot are both completely free to sign up for and use. Chariot does charge a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee for facilitating DAF donations in three simple steps, but you can enable the option for donors to cover these fees—which 95% of donors on Givebutter do when asked!
