Who cleargiving.io is for
Giving decisions are hard. We make them honest.
Whether you give £10,000 or £10 million, the challenge is the same: finding the evidence to support the decision you need to make. cleargiving.io gives every type of funder a structured, traceable way to get there.
Charitable Trusts
Grant decisions rely on whoever's most persuasive, not who fits your mission best.
Family Foundations
When a founding trustee steps back, their giving philosophy goes with them.
Corporate Foundations
Stakeholders expect a documented audit trail. A spreadsheet isn't enough.
Philanthropic Advisors
Manual due diligence doesn't scale and is hard to present as rigorous.
Community Foundations
Managing 50–200 active charities consistently is impossible without a shared framework.
Individual Philanthropists
Giving decisions default to whoever asked most recently, not which charity fits your values.
"Most grant decisions are made on instinct."
"Few are documented. Fewer still are revisited."
That's not indifference. It's the absence of the right tools. cleargiving.io gives funders the structure to move from good intentions to consistent, evidence-based decisions, and a clear record of every judgement made along the way.
For individuals
"You give because it matters to you. Now you can show how."
Personal giving with purpose and proof.
When you give as an individual, there's no board to answer to. But that doesn't mean your decisions can't be deliberate. cleargiving.io gives individual philanthropists a lightweight, personal workspace to build a giving framework that reflects what they care about.
Your scoring model can be as simple as three criteria or as detailed as fifteen. Every assessment you run builds a record of how your giving aligns with your values over time.
- A personal giving log: every assessment documented
- Your own scoring model, however simple or detailed
- No public profile. Your decisions are private.
For family foundations
"Three generations of trustees. One consistent framework."
Keep strategy coherent across generations.
Family foundations face a distinctive challenge: every new trustee brings their own perspective. Without a documented framework, each new member either defers to the most senior voice or reinterprets the foundation's direction from scratch.
cleargiving.io creates a living framework document covering your mission, your scoring model, and your historical decisions. Any new trustee can read it and immediately understand the foundation's giving identity. That understanding doesn't depend on institutional memory.
- Shared workspace for all trustees: same evidence, same scores
- Historical decision log preserves giving rationale across trustee changes
- Role-based access: analysts, reviewers, decision-makers
For corporate foundations
"Due diligence isn't optional when your stakeholders are watching."
Evidence for your stakeholders, not just your conscience.
Corporate giving is increasingly scrutinised by regulators, investors, and the public. A charity partnership that looked right at the time can become reputationally costly if the due diligence wasn't documented.
cleargiving.io gives corporate foundations and CSR teams a defensible, auditable record for every funding decision: the evidence gathered, the criteria applied, and the rationale recorded at the time.
- Full audit trail per assessment: evidence, scores, rationale, decision
- Scoring provenance: every source cited, every inference traceable
- Configurable scoring model aligned to corporate ESG or values criteria
For trusts
"Trustees have obligations. cleargiving.io gives them a process."
Independence, transparency, governance.
Charitable trusts carry fiduciary obligations that require more than good intentions. Trustees must be able to demonstrate that funding decisions were made in line with the trust's objects, based on reasonable enquiry, and with proper consideration of the evidence.
cleargiving.io provides the structured process that trustee governance requires: a configured framework, an evidence-based assessment, human override at every stage, and a permanent record.
- Independent assessment: no commercial relationship with assessed charities
- Mandatory human review before any decision is recorded
- Export-ready decision records for trustee meetings and regulatory filings
