Atrium, a platform for purposeful giving.
Atrium is an operating system that helps organizations practice stewardship with discernment across the full giving cycle.
Atrium is an operating system that helps organizations practice stewardship with discernment across the full giving cycle.
Finding nonprofits, vetting them, tracking grants, watching impact, and showing up in person. Every part of running a private foundation, in one platform.
Atrium brings it together. Here's how.
Each tool is purpose-built, no generic CRM dressed up, no spreadsheet duct-taped together.
Plans are sized to your minimum distribution requirement, not how many people you add. Onboarding is included, and the next step is a short conversation.
Moving charitable dollars and reading account balances are the two places where a mistake is expensive and irreversible, so we use established financial infrastructure that is independently audited and already relied on by institutions far larger than ours.
This is how your grants are delivered. Trusted by thousands of nonprofits, Chariot makes grant payments faster, more secure, and easier to manage. Below are four ways Chariot outperforms the old way of grantmaking.
Grants go out electronically to the nonprofit's Chariot Deposit Account*. If an organization isn't set up for electronic delivery, Chariot mails a check on your behalf. Nothing to chase, whichever way the grant is sent.
Chariot confirms EIN and active 501(c)(3) status on every disbursement before funds are released, so there's no question about an organization's standing on the day you fund it.
Beyond tax status, Chariot performs enhanced due diligence on each organization claiming an account and verifies the identity and authority of every account owner.
Payment information and grant details stay together, so your foundation and the nonprofit are looking at the same record.
*Chariot is a financial technology company, not a bank. Chariot Deposit Accounts are provided by Column N.A., Member FDIC.
This is how your funds are tracked. Plaid holds a live, read only connection to your accounts, so your progress against your MDR is measured against real balances rather than a spreadsheet updated months ago.
Plaid connects directly to your accounts and can only read them. It cannot move money, change settings, or act on your behalf.
Your progress against your MDR is measured against live balances, so the numbers you see reflect today, not a spreadsheet updated months ago.
Plaid is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and encrypts data with AES-256, the same standards relied on by institutions far larger than ours.
Your banking credentials are never shared with us. Plaid holds the connection; Atrium only ever sees the balances it needs.
Atrium brings full transparency to the giving process and supports the complete giving cycle in one place: discover nonprofits, vet and verify them, disperse grants, and follow up with reporting so you steward your funds correctly.
