# 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 [Sources](/getting-started/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.

<figure><img src="https://2623134947-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYeSwaMWBAjiYfXgDU5ZT%2Fuploads%2Fj6kJ3nH6lUpurdy6owSv%2FFrame%202147226209.png?alt=media&amp;token=302bf692-c973-4af7-9b61-2a01aa1122e4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
