What DiligenceIQ Is

DiligenceIQ is an informational tool that aggregates publicly available data about U.S. nonprofit organizations and produces algorithmic risk analyses and AI-generated narrative summaries. It is designed to help grantmakers, journalists, corporate giving teams, and researchers conduct preliminary due diligence faster.

What DiligenceIQ Is Not

DiligenceIQ is not:

• A licensed attorney or law firm
• A certified public accountant (CPA) or accounting firm
• A registered investment advisor or financial planner
• An auditor or audit firm
• A credit rating agency
• A regulatory or compliance authority
• An endorsement or condemnation of any organization

Reports produced by DiligenceIQ do not constitute:

• Legal advice
• Tax or accounting advice
• Investment, financial, or fiduciary advice
• Audit opinions
• Compliance certifications
• Recommendations to grant, partner, invest, hire, fire, employ, or report on any organization

Data Sources and Limitations

DiligenceIQ uses publicly available data from the following sources:

• IRS Form 990 series filings (via ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer API and IRS Business Master File extracts)
• News and web sources (via search at the time of the report)
• AI-generated analysis produced by Anthropic's Claude API

Known limitations:

• IRS Form 990 data is released with a delay, often several months to over a year after the filing year. Reports may not reflect the most current financial state of an organization.
• Source data may contain errors that DiligenceIQ does not detect or correct.
• News and web search results are point-in-time snapshots and may include inaccurate, biased, or outdated information.
• AI-generated narratives may misinterpret, hallucinate, or omit relevant information.
• Risk scores and red flags are produced by rules and models that are necessarily simplifications and may flag legitimate activity as risky or miss genuine concerns.
• Coverage is limited to organizations that have filed Form 990 series returns with the IRS. Smaller nonprofits that file Form 990-N (postcard), churches, and some other entities have limited or no data available.

How You Should Use DiligenceIQ

DiligenceIQ is intended as a starting point for due diligence, not a final answer.

We recommend:

• Verify findings independently before making consequential decisions.
• Consult qualified professionals (attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors) for material grant, investment, or partnership decisions.
• Contact organizations directly to clarify questions raised by the report.
• Review primary source documents (original 990 filings, news articles, governance documents) for matters of significance.
• Use professional judgment — algorithms cannot replace contextual knowledge about an organization's mission, leadership, or sector.

Reports About Specific Organizations

Risk assessments, red flags, and narrative summaries about specific nonprofit organizations reflect algorithmic interpretation of publicly available data at the time the report was generated. They are not statements of fact about the organization, its officers, or its activities.

If you are an officer of an organization profiled by DiligenceIQ and believe a report contains inaccurate information, please contact us at duediligenceiq@gmail.com. Note that:

• We cannot alter the underlying public data — that must be addressed with the IRS or the relevant data source.
• We may correct errors in our own analysis or display.
• We do not remove organizations from coverage simply on request, as the underlying data is public.

No Warranties

DiligenceIQ output is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for any particular purpose. See our Terms of Service for the full disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability.

Decisions and Consequences

You are solely responsible for any decisions made or actions taken based on DiligenceIQ output. DiligenceIQ is not liable for decisions made by users, including but not limited to grant approvals or denials, partnership decisions, investment decisions, employment decisions, or published reporting.

Sources & Attribution

Underlying nonprofit data is accessed via ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer API (projects.propublica.org/nonprofits), used in accordance with their Data Terms of Use. The Form 990 filings themselves are public records originally filed with the United States Internal Revenue Service. DiligenceIQ provides analysis, scoring, and synthesis on top of this public data.
