Where can you give and know your money is doing what you intended?

Charitable giving in the United States alone hit $557 billion last year. Roughly 5-7 percent - between $25 and $35 billion - is lost to fraud, misuse, or silent failure. As a donor, you have one tool against that: asking whether the foundation you give to has a real verification layer underneath. This page is the background for that conversation.

Three ways to give →Questions to ask
In plain English
What is this?
Background for individual donors, family offices, and high-net-worth givers. We are not a donation surface for you yet - that comes later. We are the verification layer that the foundations you already donate to should be using underneath.
How does it affect me?
If you donate at any meaningful size, the foundation receiving your gift is making decisions about which grantees deserve it. Some foundations have rigorous diligence; many do not. Knowing what to ask - and what answers should make you uncomfortable - is the difference between a gift that lands and a gift that disappears.
Does it help me?
Three concrete things: (1) A short list of questions to ask any foundation before donating. (2) The names of the participating fiduciaries we work with directly, so you can give to them as a Tier 1 channel. (3) A roadmap signal for the consumer-direct surface coming next.

Three ways to give with verification underneath

Pick the path that fits your situation. The first is what most donors will do; the second is for donors who want to give directly to the regional pool; the third is the future state.

1

Give to a foundation that uses Attestyx

The simplest path. Find a foundation whose mission you care about, donate to it, and ask whether it engages with Attestyx. If it does, your contribution flows through grants that have been pre-cleared, anchored, and monitored. If it does not, ask why - donor pressure changes vendor selection.

Give directly to a Tier 1 vault via local fiduciary

Each of our five jurisdictions has a registered local charitable fiduciary. You can donate directly to that fiduciary; your gift becomes part of the regional grant capital pool that disburses to vetted grantees in that jurisdiction. Tax-deductible per local rules.

Wait for the consumer-direct version

A direct donor-to-grantee surface is on the roadmap. You will be able to discover, vet, and donate to specific grantees on the platform with the same verification underneath that foundations use. We will email you when it ships.

Six questions to ask any foundation before you give

Most foundations welcome these questions. The ones that flinch are the ones to look at twice. Send the list to your family-office advisor, your wealth manager, or directly to the foundation's program officer.

  1. Does this foundation engage with a verification platform like Attestyx? Which one?
  2. Can I see the verdict score on a recent grant decision, even if redacted?
  3. What percentage of grants have been pre-cleared against sanctions and beneficial ownership?
  4. Has the foundation ever recovered funds from a misused grant? With what evidence?
  5. How does the foundation handle grantees that turn out to be bad actors?
  6. Where does the foundation publish its annual transparency report?
What a good answer looks like.A foundation using a real verification layer can produce a recent verdict report, an evidence package, and a transparency dashboard. A foundation that has never considered the question will give you a pamphlet. The difference is the conversation worth having.
