Certified Charitable

Is it charitable?

We answer one question. From a quick check to a complex professional review, PHILANTHROPIST.CC helps document whether a defined case, project, transaction, expenditure, transfer or proposed use is charitable.

ONE QUESTION. TOTAL FOCUS.

Certify the matter, not the organization.

A CC is situational. It addresses the defined facts, purpose, parties, evidence and governing framework at a point in time.

1

Describe the situation

Tell us what is being purchased, donated, transferred, funded, used or proposed.

2

We apply proportionate review

Simple cases stay simple. Complex matters receive deeper human, legal or tax review.

3

Use the result in context

A CC documents the matter reviewed. External authorities still control their own legal or regulatory decisions.
