Payers

Connect your payment sources — from grant portals to individual payers — and manage them all in one place through your Chariot account.

Payers are entities that send donations or grant funds to your nonprofit — from donor-advised fund sponsors to grant making platforms and individual foundations.

This article explains how to receive all payments and gift data from any Payer linked to your Chariot account—not just DAFpay gifts.

If you are looking to confirm which DAF providers are currently available for DAFpay grant initiation, please visit secure.dafpay.com/demo and search for the provider in question.

🔗 Linked Payers

When a payer is linked to your Chariot account, all donations from that payer are delivered electronically through Chariot and automatically appear in your dashboard. This simplifies your gift tracking, improves visibility, and centralizes your disbursement data.

⚡ Lightning Icon

Payers with a lighting icon are a subset of linked payers that use Chariot Disbursements to automatically send funds and gift details directly to your Chariot account.

These payers are automatically enabled upon onboarding.

🔒 Lock Icon

This is a linkable payer — meaning they aren’t enabled automatically, but you can still connect them to your Chariot account. Once linked, their donations will flow directly into your Chariot dashboard, just like automated payers.
