Identify
Your submitted charity name and country are matched against our registry. If we don't have a record yet, we add one from the local regulator before proceeding. You confirm the match before review begins.
Lawyer + CPA attested. Every record.
17 jurisdictions covered as a standard service.
3–7 business days. Tier 1 turnaround.
For institutional grantmakers
Cross-border charity due diligence, signed by a lawyer and a CPA.
A standardized review of registration, sanctions, governance, and finances on a charitable organization — compiled, attested, and delivered as a single record your auditors can verify.
Method
Four stages, every record, every time.
No bespoke pipeline per customer. The same disciplined sequence runs on every charity, captured against our published methodology and reviewed by both signers before delivery.
Verify
Registration status, tax-exempt classification, sanctions and PEP lists, governance and financial filings, and adverse media — ten discrete checks, each with its own evidence URL and retrieval timestamp.
Attest
The completed record is reviewed by the attesting lawyer and a CPA. Both sign confirming the work was performed in accordance with our published methodology. Either may decline and route the record to manual review.
Deliver
Signed PDF arrives in your dashboard. A permanent verification URL lets your auditors confirm authenticity and content hash without contacting us.
Audience
Built for institutional grantmaking.
Foundations and donor-advised funds use trust letters as audit-grade documentation supporting cross-border grants. Family offices use them for independent verification before significant philanthropic commitments. Corporate giving programs use them to standardize matching and sponsorship decisions across geographies.
Equivalency determinations are too narrow for most cross-border grants.Why the trust letter exists
An information product, not legal advice
What a trust letter is — and what it isn't.
It is
A factual due diligence summary.
The lawyer's signature is a credibility signal about the work performed: it confirms the diligence described was completed and that supporting evidence is on file. The record itemizes every check, every source, and every timestamp. Auditors receive a verifiable artefact, not a narrative.
It is not
A legal opinion. Not legal advice.
It is not a legal opinion on the charity's status under any law, and it is not legal advice to you. Use of the service does not create an attorney-client relationship. We do not represent customers. You and your own counsel decide what to do with the record we provide.
Ready when you are
A diligence record on file before the next grant cycle.
