🪙What is DAF Pay?
DAF Pay, powered by Chariot, allows donors to make gifts directly from their Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) — without ever leaving your Almabase giving page.
DAFs are one of the fastest-growing giving channels, and with DAF Pay, institutions can now accept these gifts just like Cards.
Why use DAF Pay?
Offering DAF Pay makes giving easier for donors and more efficient for your institution.
For institutions:
Accept gifts from donors’ existing Donor-Advised Funds directly on Almabase.
Reduce manual processing — fulfillment and tracking happen automatically through Chariot.
Increase overall giving by offering a preferred donation method for many donors.
For donors:
Give through their DAFs instantly — no redirects or extra steps.
Enjoy the same checkout experience as other payment methods.
Receive confirmation when the grant is initiated and fulfilled.
💡 Research shows that DAF gifts are typically 18–20× larger than non-DAF gifts, even after excluding high-value outliers.
How it works
Once DAF Pay is enabled on Almabase and connected with your Chariot account, “DAF” appears as a payment option on all your Giving Pages.
Donors select DAF during checkout, complete their contribution directly on your page, and Almabase automatically tracks the fulfillment status in real time — no manual reconciliation required.
