Phase 3: Managing your donations


The Chariot Dashboard


Chariot's transaction dashboard provides you with a home base for all of your DAF donations. You can view all of your DAF donations or filter by date and donation status.


Each transaction line item provides your organization with the name, contact information, and Donor Advised Fund provider of the donor so you can thank them in real time to steward these key relationships.



Donation Status & Chariot IDs


All donations from Chariot will be initially marked as "Initiated" in your dashboard. Once you receive a donation, you can mark it as received by clicking the checkbox on the left hand side. Make sure to save your changes!


How do I know which DAF donation to mark as received?


Each Chariot donation (whether a check or wire transfer) comes with a corresponding Chariot ID. These can usually be found in the memo line of a check or the grant note attached to the donation.


Use this Chariot ID to identify the corresponding line item in your dashboard. Use the search bar to make it even easier.
