Vet CSR grantees with every red flag traced to its source

Status and compliance checks run the same way every time

Tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3), registration standing, and prior regulatory action get checked deterministically for every prospective grantee. The same checks run in the same order for each applicant. One organization is not held to a looser bar than the next.

Every red flag quotes its source filing

A flag points to the passage it came from: a line in the Form 990, a registration record, or a public enforcement filing. Quotes are checked against the source. If a grantee's filings do not address a risk area, that gap is flagged, not guessed.

Governance judgment routes to a person, on every call

A subjective read is never decided by the agent alone. Related-party governance, mission alignment, and reputational concerns go to a reviewer with the criterion and the quoted application text attached. The person makes the call. The packet records who decided and what they saw.

A risk packet that holds up to ESG oversight

Each finding traces back to the passage behind it. When a board or an ESG committee questions a disbursement, you show the source filing, the deterministic check that ran, and the named reviewer for any judgment call.

Bring the filings yourself

Upload the 990s, registration documents, and supporting filings, or pull together a folder for a grantee. Cemented AI works from what you bring. For pulling applications from a grants platform, ask about connectors for Enterprise.

How a review runs

1. Step 1

   Bring the grantee's filings

   Upload the Form 990s, registration records, and supporting documents, or pull a folder together for the prospective grantee.

2. Step 2

   Deterministic checks run first

   Tax-exempt status, registration standing, completeness, and prior regulatory action are checked the same way for every grantee.

3. Step 3

   Judgment calls route to a person

   Governance, related-party, and reputational reads go to a reviewer with the criterion and the quoted text attached. The reviewer decides.

4. Step 4

   You get a sourced risk packet

   Each flag quotes its source filing, gaps are marked rather than guessed, and every judgment call records who decided.

Common questions

How is this different from an AI tool that summarizes a nonprofit's risk?

A summary asks you to trust the model. This gives you the source. Every red flag quotes the filing it came from, and the quote is checked against that document. Deterministic checks like 501(c)(3) status run the same way for every grantee. Any subjective governance call goes to a person, not the model.

What gets checked deterministically versus routed to a person?

Status, registration standing, completeness of required filings, and prior regulatory action are deterministic. They run identically for each grantee. Judgment calls route to a reviewer with the quoted text attached. These include governance concerns, related-party questions, and mission alignment. The reviewer decides.

What happens when a grantee's filings don't cover a risk area?

The gap is flagged, not filled in. If the filings do not address a question, the packet says so plainly rather than guessing an answer. You decide whether to request more from the grantee.

Can it connect to your grants management platform?

Not as a self-serve feature today. Most teams upload the filings or export them into a folder. For connectors into platforms like Submittable, Fluxx, or Foundant, ask about Enterprise.

How is grantee data handled?

Documents you upload are scoped to your account, and Cemented AI does not train frontier models on them. See the privacy page for how data is handled, and the Enterprise carve-out.

What does it cost and how do I start?

Pro and Max are per-seat. Enterprise covers single sign-on, stricter data controls, and connector discussions. Write to [email protected], or schedule a meeting to set up a trial on a sanitized grantee sample.
