Chariot requires a Control Person from your organization to verify their information and activate your account.
A Control Person is an individual with significant responsibility to control, manage, or direct your nonprofit organization or financial operations (e.g., C-Suite, VP of Finance, etc.). They may, but are not required to, appear on your IRS Form 990 or have formal signatory authority.
Chariot Deposit Accounts are offered in partnership with Column N.A., a nationally chartered bank. Federal regulations, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, require all U.S. banks to verify the identity of individuals opening financial accounts. Chariot collects personal information, such as a Social Security Number (SSN), exclusively for identity verification. This information is never used for credit checks or shared for any other purpose.
Yes, after the account is activated, additional users, such as admin, finance, or development, can be invited with customized roles. You can see the various permissions here.
If the account is not claimed, your organization will continue receiving DAF grants via mailed checks. These will usually come with ~2-3 week delays.
In addition to payments and data from Disbursement providers, Chariot is the company that powers DAFpay, the only Donor Advised Fund (DAF) payment option that lives directly on nonprofit donation forms. You can access DAFpay for no upfront cost via one of their fundraising platform integrations or via a direct subscription with Chariot. Nonprofits on Chariot transform how their donors give – and how their teams receive – DAF gifts. You will also have the ability to receive electronic payments from a growing list of other DAF providers. You can reach out to them at [email protected].
