Why verification exists
Most nonprofits ask you to trust them. Service Human is built so you don’t have to.
Verification is the backbone of the platform: every dollar, every partner, and every impact claim is designed to be independently confirmable — through financial institutions, corporate giving networks, and public records.
This isn’t marketing. This is infrastructure.
What is being verified?
- Legal identity: state + federal nonprofit registration and public record.
- Banking: institutional verification for legitimate fund flow.
- Eligibility: acceptance into workplace giving + corporate philanthropy systems.
- Financial flows: where money enters and where it goes.
- Impact: programs, grants, deployments, and outcomes.
- Email authenticity: does not request sensitive information via unsolicited emails, attachments, or links.
These layers form a continuous chain of trust — not a single point of failure.
Our verification networks
Service Human is registered, vetted, and monitored inside the same networks used by major employers, foundations, and the systems that move philanthropic money at scale.
Candid (GuideStar)
Confirms nonprofit identity, mission, and public-facing record used by foundations, journalists, and donors.
Benevity
Corporate giving + matching infrastructure. Verifies nonprofits for employee donations, eligibility, and compliance inside employer giving programs.
Bonterra
Workplace giving and grants management systems. Verifies nonprofits before they enter corporate donor pipelines.
Blackbaud
Nonprofit fundraising and financial infrastructure used at scale. Supports traceability, legitimacy, and compliance around charitable fund flow.
Note: platform mechanics vary by employer and system, but the point is the same: you’re not “trusting a website” — you’re verifying through established rails.
What this means for donors
When you give to Service Human, your donation isn’t just accepted — it’s supported by independent systems built for verification.
- Your employer can match it.
- Your giving platform can verify it.
- Your foundation can audit it.
- Your accountant can trace it.
This reduces the two biggest risks in philanthropy: misuse of funds and lack of accountability.
Why some organizations avoid verification
Verification requires disclosure. It requires consistency. It requires numbers that withstand scrutiny.
Many organizations choose opacity because it allows inefficiency, excessive overhead, and vague impact claims to survive.
Service Human was built for the opposite.
Radical transparency is our default
We don’t wait to be audited. We don’t hide behind reports that arrive years later. We don’t ask for blind faith.
The system is designed so trust is generated automatically — through banks, platforms, records, and data.
This is how Service Human becomes the Bloomberg Terminal of Human Impact.
