For family foundations
Three generations of trustees. One consistent framework.
cleargiving.io gives family foundations a structured way to preserve their giving philosophy, so the foundation's identity doesn't depend on any individual trustee's memory.
Every family foundation eventually faces the same challenge.
Institutional memory walks out the door
When a founding trustee steps back, their judgement, relationships, and giving philosophy go with them. The next generation is left to reverse-engineer what the foundation actually stands for.
Each new trustee reinterprets the mission
Without a documented scoring model, every trustee rotation risks subtle mission drift, as new members bring their own priorities into decisions without a shared framework to anchor them.
Meetings become debates, not decisions
When there's no shared evidence and no agreed criteria, trustee meetings default to whoever argues most persuasively. That's not a giving strategy. It's a personality contest.
Why did we fund that, three years ago?
Without documented rationale, funding decisions become impossible to revisit, learn from, or explain to a new trustee who wants to understand the foundation's track record.
The foundation's identity, permanently documented.
cleargiving.io creates a living record of your foundation: its mission, its scoring model, and every funding decision ever made. Any new trustee can read it and immediately understand what the foundation stands for and why previous decisions were made.
- Living framework document: mission, scoring model, and historical decisions in one place
- Multi-trustee workspace. Every member sees the same evidence before any meeting.
- Role-based access: analysts prepare, directors review, trustees decide
- Historical decision log with full rationale, preserved indefinitely
- Onboarding-ready. New trustees understand the foundation's giving philosophy from day one.
Your giving is your business.
Your foundation's data is private and isolated. Never shared with other workspaces.
Historical decisions are never deleted, even if a charity is archived
No commercial relationship with any assessed charity. Fully independent analysis.
Build a foundation that outlasts its founders.
Preserve your giving philosophy across trustee generations with a documented framework and permanent decision history.
