How do donors give from a donor-advised fund on BetterUnite?
They pick Donor Advised Fund as a payment option at checkout and complete the gift through the integrated Chariot DAF integration. There are no paper grant recommendation forms, and the donor never leaves your page.
Which checkouts support DAF gifts?
DAF giving is available across donation pages, event checkout, and volunteer sign-up flows, and you control it with a per-campaign toggle, so you can enable it exactly where it fits.
Do I need a separate Chariot account?
Chariot powers the DAF option inside BetterUnite checkout. Setup details and any Chariot-side requirements are worth confirming during your demo.
Can donors also give stock or trigger employer matching at checkout?
Yes. DAF giving sits alongside DonateStock for stock and crypto donations and Double the Donation for employer gift matching, so one checkout covers the modern giving vehicles.
Are DAF gifts tax-receipted differently?
DAF grants come from the sponsoring fund, which handles the donor's deduction, so the acknowledgment reads differently from a standard gift receipt. Best practice is a thank-you without deduction language. How BetterUnite acknowledgment templates should be set up for DAF gifts is worth walking through with the team during your demo.
Why should we offer DAF giving at checkout?
More than $250 billion sits in donor-advised funds, and DAF donors give larger average gifts. Making DAF a one-click checkout option captures gifts that would otherwise require the donor to log into their fund separately, which most never do.
