Common questions

Does Plinth make the due diligence decision?

No. Pippin runs the checks and shows each finding with a link to the record or document it came from. Your reviewers read the findings and decide whether to approve, query or reject. Every decision stays with the people accountable for the money.

Where do the findings come from?

IRS records for 501(c)(3) status, EIN and ruling year; US sanctions and watch lists for OFAC screening; the applicant's most recent Form 990; their NTEE classification; Charity Navigator; and recent news coverage. Each finding links back to its source.

How long does it take?

The checks run in the background as applications arrive and take minutes per applicant, against the 8 weeks a manual compliance review can take. Plinth is live in 3 days if your foundation manages under $50M in grants.
