Due diligence is conducted on non-profits and their readiness is assessed to ensure their legitimacy, ethical standards and credibility. It helps mitigate the risk of accepting funds from sources involved in illegal or unethical activities. Additionally, due diligence ensures that the non-profit’s mission, values, and goals align with those of the potential donors, fostering mutually beneficial partnerships and safeguarding the organisation’s reputation and integrity.

The compliance checklist is a consolidated list of indicators, mandatory compliance requirements, and other CSR requirements, which are critical measurements of your organisation’s ability to receive CSR funds.

The checklist can be used to:

1. Evaluate your organisation’s readiness to receive CSR funds
2. Conduct due diligence while onboarding an organisation as a partner
