# For Nonprofits

### Chariot Disbursements For Nonprofits

Chariot works with grantmaker partners who use Chariot Disbursements to send grants to nonprofits electronically.

When a grantmaker sends a grant through Chariot, delivery depends on whether your organization has claimed its Chariot account.

Organizations with a claimed Chariot account can receive grants electronically into their Chariot Deposit Account. Organizations without a claimed account will receive grants by mailed check if the account is not claimed in time.

### If Your Chariot Account Is Claimed

When you claim your Chariot account, eligible grantmaker partners are automatically enabled as [Payment Sources](/getting-started/payment-sources.md#connected-sources) within your account.

This means grants from those partners can be delivered electronically directly into your Chariot Deposit Account — often within minutes of the grant being approved and released.

When a grant arrives:

* Funds appear in your Chariot Deposit Account
* Donation records appear in your dashboard
* Donation details are automatically linked to the deposit
* Your team can view, filter, export, and reconcile the data digitally

You’ll also receive an email notification when new grants arrive and are ready to withdraw or process.

Because grants arrive electronically, organizations can process them alongside other DAF, workplace giving, and mailed gifts using the same workflows inside Chariot.

***

### If Your Chariot Account Is Not Claimed

If your organization has not yet claimed its Chariot account, you’ll receive an email notification when a grant is initiated through a Chariot Disbursement partner.

Your organization then has up to 5 business days to claim the account and begin receiving funds electronically.

If the account is not claimed during that window, the grant will instead be mailed as a paper check to your organization’s most up-to-date physical mailing address, such as:

* Your IRS-registered address
* The address listed on your website
* Another publicly available nonprofit mailing address

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.givechariot.com/disbursements/for-nonprofits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
