Confirm where your funding ends up.

For foundations, corporate philanthropy, CSR and ESG teams. We look at grantees, implementing partners and the organizations they pay, before the money goes out.

Can you show that the people delivering your funded programs are who they say they are?

Funding travels from you to a grantee, to an implementing partner, to local contractors. Each step is a place where money can be diverted or a reputation borrowed.

Where the exposure sits

Patterns we look for in funded programs.

Pattern 01

The implementing partner’s director runs the main supplier.

Program money returns to the people running the program.

Pattern 02

A grantee shares its address with a dozen new charities.

The registered office is a service address used by organizations formed the same month.

Pattern 03

The impact claims depend on one local partner.

Nobody outside the project has met the organization doing the work.

Pattern 04

A new board member is politically exposed.

The appointment is recent and does not appear on the grantee’s website.

Across the work

From the first grant to the last report.

  1. Before the grant

    Grantees, implementing partners and the people on their boards.

  2. During the program

    Downstream partners and the payments they receive.

  3. At renewal

    Changes in leadership, ownership and funding sources.

  4. When a red flag appears

    An evidence-based account your board and counsel can act on.

Typical engagements

Sized to the risk and the deadline.

Start with one counterparty or a full portfolio. Every engagement is confidential.
