Charity Report Intelligence
4 credits / call (8 on the free plan)A trustees' annual report → a structured due-diligence read.
Grant-makers and giving teams screen charities by reading annual reports by hand. This structures one into finances, governance signals, delivery, flags and a transparency score — with the gaps a funder would ask about named explicitly.
Grant assessors screen charities the slow way: reading trustees' annual reports cover to cover, hunting for the reserves policy, the safeguarding mention, the actual outcomes. This endpoint reads them instead — text, HTML or PDF in; finances, governance signals, delivery, red flags and a transparency score out, with the gaps a funder would probe listed explicitly. Figures come straight from the text; the scoring is a disclaimered, indicative opinion — never invented numbers.
what you’d build with it
Grant-round triage
Structure every applicant's annual report before assessment day — reviewers start from the flags, not from page one.
Giving platforms
Corporate-giving and philanthropy tools vet partner charities' governance automatically.
Funder portfolio monitoring
Re-run each grantee's latest report annually; the transparency score trends tell you where to look.
