In today’s impact landscape, trust is everything — but hard to earn
As companies expand their granting and social impact programs across borders, the risk of inadvertently funding ineligible or noncompliant nonprofits grows. From fraud and financial mismanagement to regulatory violations or misaligned values, the stakes are high — and the reputational damage can be even higher.
Yet many corporate impact CSR programs still rely on limited or inconsistent vetting processes, leaving critical gaps in protection. Without a comprehensive, scalable due diligence framework, companies risk making decisions based on incomplete data, outdated validations or unchecked assumptions.

Managing fraud risk in your social impact programs
Benevity’s nonprofit due diligence process has many layers. Because of this rigor, Benevity has the ability to provide this to our clients assurance their giving programs are safe and compliant — even across global regulations. Our four-step nonprofit vetting program includes:
Validation: Establishing platform eligibility
Validation is the foundational step in Benevity’s due diligence. It confirms whether a nonprofit is legitimate and qualifies to appear in the Benevity Causes Portal. A nonprofit must be validated to receive funds or engage with your granting, giving, and volunteer programs.
Verification: Safeguarding your program
Verification focuses on ensuring the people and payment details behind nonprofit profiles are legitimate. These checks help protect your program from the reputational and financial risks associated with fraud.
Vetting: Supporting values-based decision making
Vetting offers a deeper look into how a nonprofit operates beyond the Benevity platform, helping you make informed decisions based on your organization’s unique risk tolerance.
Investigation: Responding to concerns
If concerns arise — such as a potential sanctions match or risk flagged in media — Benevity may conduct an internal investigation.
Through this lifecycle approach — driven by data, supported by analytics — Benevity provides
a comprehensive framework to manage risk at every stage.
