Questions about AI charity assessment.
What is AI charity assessment?
AI charity assessment is the use of artificial intelligence to help grant-makers evaluate charities, gathering evidence from public registries, scoring it against a defined framework, and surfacing risks for human review. cleargiving.io does this for trusts, foundations, and advisors who need consistent, documented grant decisions.
How does AI charity due diligence work?
cleargiving.io runs a structured five-stage process: your foundation's scoring criteria and mission are loaded as context; a research pass gathers evidence from Charity Commission filings, Companies House, and published accounts; each criterion is scored independently with a rationale; a synthesis surfaces key findings; and trustees review everything before any decision is recorded.
Is cleargiving.io only for UK charities?
cleargiving.io is primarily built around UK grant-making. Evidence gathering draws on the Charity Commission register, Companies House, and UK-published accounts. Non-UK organisations can be assessed, but evidence will typically be less comprehensive where Charity Commission data would normally contribute.
Does AI replace trustee judgement?
No. cleargiving.io structures and grades evidence; trustees make the call. Every AI score is provisional until a human reviews it. No funding decision can be recorded without an explicit human review step. This is how the platform works, not an optional setting.
