Fill out your file once. Reuse it everywhere.
Charities spend ridiculous amounts of time re-doing the same paperwork - articles of incorporation, board roster, audited financials, beneficial-owner forms - for every foundation they apply to. We changed the model. You upload it once into your private vault. With your permission, every participating foundation reads from the same file.
The cost of the bad-actor problem falls on honest grantees too
Every fraudulent grantee that slips through somewhere makes life harder for the legitimate ones everywhere. The diligence burden compounds, the funding cycles slow, and the suspicion travels.
- Every foundation runs its own duplicate diligence. The same documents, references, and financials get reassembled and resubmitted at each application, often costing six to twelve weeks per cycle.
- A clean track record at one foundation is invisible to the next. Grantees cannot port their reputation across the funder ecosystem, so they start from zero every time.
- Fraud sweeps are blunt instruments. When a regulator or press cycle surfaces bad actors in a category or region, legitimate grantees in the same space face frozen funding, expanded inquiries, and reputational damage by association.
- Grantees carry their own legal exposure. False statements on grant applications, misuse of restricted funds, and lapses in 501(c)(3) maintenance can trigger civil fraud claims, breach of contract, IRS revocation, and for federally funded work, False Claims Act liability.
Honest grantees need a way to prove they are honest, once, in a form that travels. Without it, the diligence tax falls hardest on the organizations least equipped to absorb it.
How Attestyx protects honest grantees
Pre-clearance is not just a foundation tool. It is the mechanism that lets a legitimate grantee establish a verified, portable, court-grade record of its own integrity, then reuse it across every foundation on the platform.
One verification, every foundation
Complete the 148-check verification once. The verified profile becomes available to every foundation on Attestyx, anchored to CourtChain and timestamped at issuance. Application cycles compress from months to days.
A track record that travels
Every successful grant, every milestone met, every disbursement received becomes part of your verifiable history. Foundations evaluating a new application see a third-party-authenticated record of past performance, not a reference list and a hope.
Insulation from fraud sweeps
When a regulator, journalist, or peer foundation surfaces bad actors in a sector or region, Attestyx-verified grantees stand on a documented record that distinguishes them at the moment the inquiry starts.
Documentary defense for your own exposure
The same FRE 902(14) evidence properties that protect foundations protect grantees. If you are ever questioned about source verification of a restricted gift, compliance with grant terms, or fund usage, the contemporaneous record exists, was generated by an independent platform, and is admissible without further authentication.
Free in perpetuity for participating grantees
Under the Human Flourishing Mandate, Attestyx-verified grantees in the five operational jurisdictions (US, UAE, Singapore, Brazil, Europe) receive verification, profile maintenance, and access to the foundation network at no cost. The pipeline is funded by JIL Sovereign Technologies' 10% net-profit donation to Global Hands, Inc. (the US 501(c)(3) operator of Attestyx). Foundations pay the platform fee, not grantees.
Five steps. Free for grantees, forever.
Grantees never pay Attestyx. The whole point of the model is that you do the verification work once and the participating foundations cover the cost - which is why you'll see this profile re-used everywhere.
