Built around your work
Operational urgency does not resolve an identity question.
A grantee may appoint a new local partner during a program. The original grantee’s check does not cover that new organization. Staff need to keep the current parties and their evidence clear.
Keep uncertainty visible
Compare possible matches with known names and registry facts. Record uncertainty and request facts that help when needed.
Support an authorized decision
Keep the program reference, review reasons, and approval path together. Monitor selected long-term partners when your policy calls for repeat checks.
Put it into practice
Connect screening to the next business step.
An implementing partner introduces a new subrecipient.
A program can add a local partner after the grant was first reviewed. Staff need to keep the new party visible without losing the earlier evidence.
Distinct subject results share the program reference. The grant approver can see which identity questions are resolved and which remain open.
- 01
Map the activity and relationships
Identify the grantee, partner, or supplier and any other required parties. Collect the known legal details and a program reference.
- 02
Gather proportionate identity evidence
Run checks against the chosen lists and assign possible matches. Keep failed checks open and distinguish them from no-match.
- 03
Screen, review, and revisit changes
Record the finding about the match and finish the separate grant or activity assessment. Update the party roster when partners change.
A fictional grantee appoints a new local partner
Example Laurel Aid works with a registered recipient in an invented grant program. The recipient later names a new implementing partner. Staff record that partner as a distinct organization and choose the sources required by their grant-review policy.
A similar name appears in a source record. The reviewer uses the grant reference to find the right file and compares known registry facts. Ask for more evidence where needed. Leave open questions clear to the grant approver. The first grantee’s no-match does not cover each new partner or aid recipient.

| Work item | Screening evidence | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Grant recipient | Organization screening and grant reference. | Recipient identity and program eligibility need their own evidence. |
| Implementing partner | Distinct party record and candidate review. | A new partner does not inherit the recipient’s result. |
| Grant decision | Source scope, review reasons, and supporting references. | Program, destination, ownership, and authorization questions remain separate. |
Try a partner change before a full program rollout
Start free with 250 live screenings. Use them in the API or dashboard. Your first workspace gets this allowance once, with no monthly reset. No credit card is needed.
Try a grantee and replacement partner with facts your team may share. Ask staff to find each result and the owner of any open question. Try a case export and a record with a missing registry detail.
The optional demo uses made-up records for a quick tour. Use the sandbox to test errors without using live checks.
Check which sources you can use now. Count the first checks and repeat checks for the partners you plan to monitor. The wider grant review still needs to assess who owns an entity, where the work will take place, and whether the activity is allowed. A list check cannot authorize aid or approve a grant.
Keep the program record current
Use the grant or program reference to link distinct partner checks. Record each party’s role so a future reviewer can tell the recipient from an implementing partner or supplier. Preserve earlier results when the roster changes.
Your policy determines which parties require screening. Do not assume every aid beneficiary should be screened or asked for more personal data. Set a clear purpose for each check and collect the details needed for that task.

Screening questions for nonprofits.
Can nonprofits screen grantees and implementing partners?
Yes. Submit each required person or company as its own subject with chosen sources. Use a grant or program reference to connect the checks while keeping each identity and result distinct.
Does a grantee no-match authorize a grant or aid activity?
No. It says that the chosen lists returned no possible match for that subject. Your team still needs to assess the program, place, owners, and rules that apply to the activity. Finish those tasks before making the grant decision.
Should we screen every aid beneficiary?
Your rules and needs decide who to check. This page does not tell you to screen everyone. State why you need the check. Collect only the personal details you need.
Can we monitor a long-term implementing partner?
Yes, if its known details remain saved and you create a monitor with chosen sources and schedule. Assign someone to alerts and failed checks. Completed rescreens use the shared production allowance.
What changes when a grantee appoints a new partner?
Record the new organization as a separate subject and perform the required checks. Keep the original recipient’s result as history. The new partner does not inherit it.
