Grantee Watchlist

Know when a grantee's status changes — before your next disbursement.

Upload the charities you fund. CharityVerify watches CRA's public record and alerts you when one loses registered status, trips a critical flag, drops a trust grade, or changes its board.

How it works

Monitoring runs on the same engine that grades every registered Canadian charity.

1

Upload your portfolio

Paste or upload your grantee business numbers — a CSV export from your grants system works as-is. Every BN is validated against the registry on ingest.

2

We watch the public record

CharityVerify re-checks CRA registration status, filings, scores, and board composition on a rolling cadence, and diffs every change against your portfolio.

3

You get the delta

A digest lands in your inbox — daily, weekly, or immediate — with only what changed. Every alert links to the full profile and becomes part of a timestamped record for your grant files.

A real week of changes

Every line below is an actual change CharityVerify detected in CRA's public record in early June 2026.

What we watch

Facts first: alerts report observable changes in the public record.

Critical

Registration status

Revoked (voluntary, for cause, or following audit), annulled, suspended, or penalized by CRA.

Critical

New critical flags

A grantee trips a new critical risk indicator — from filing gaps to structural anomalies.

Warning

Trust grade drops

A grantee's grade falls — with a configurable threshold so you only hear about drops that matter to you.

Warning

Board changes

Directors joining or leaving between filings, matched with identity-aware name handling. Opt-in per portfolio.

Early access

Sanctions & FATF screening

Ongoing re-screening against sanctions lists and FATF high-risk jurisdictions, for AML/compliance teams.

Pricing

Talk to us
Ratings are independent. Trust Grades are computed from public CRA data by the same methodology for everyone — identical for free donors and paying institutions. No charity can pay to change its grade, suppress a flag, or alter an alert. Monitoring reports observable changes in the public record, not opinions for sale.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

Everything is sourced from the Canada Revenue Agency's public registry and T3010 annual information returns — the same filings every registered charity must make. CharityVerify re-checks the record on a rolling cadence and stamps every scored record with a data_vintage so you can see exactly how fresh the underlying filing is.

How fast will I hear about a change?

Detection runs on a rolling cadence against the public record, and your digest cadence is configurable: immediate, daily, or weekly. Status losses and new critical flags are flagged critical and lead every digest. Detection depends on when a change appears in CRA's public record — see our terms for the fine print.

Is this a compliance control?

No. Watchlist alerts are informational — an early-warning layer on top of the public record, plus a timestamped record showing your organization was watching. They don't replace your own due-diligence process, legal review, or (for regulated entities) your AML program.

Can a charity pay to suppress an alert?

No. Grades and alerts are computed identically for everyone from public data. There is no paid relationship that changes what the data says — that independence is the point.

What does early access involve?

A 30-day sales-assisted pilot: we load your grantee list, you get a Day-0 portfolio snapshot and live alerts on your own portfolio, and you decide at the end. No card required to start.

We fund US charities too — do you cover them?

CharityVerify covers Canadian registered charities. For US 501(c)(3) monitoring, GuideStar Charity Check is the established equivalent — there is currently no Canadian equivalent other than CharityVerify.
