Problem
Institutional funders make consequential decisions they must defend to a board, a principal, or the public, yet most operate without dedicated research staff and rely on thin or outdated public data. The information they need exists but is fragmented across filings, audits, watchdog data, and news coverage, and interpreting it accurately requires time and expertise most funders do not have in-house.
Solution
Decira provides analyst-reviewed intelligence on the organizations institutional funders are considering, covering governance, financial health, adverse media, and peer benchmarks in a platform where every fact is sourced and dated. The platform combines automated tools to organize public filings with human analysts who apply judgment that machines cannot—such as identifying misattributed headlines, politically motivated investigations, or field-specific governance patterns. The platform is building profiles of every charity that files a detailed tax return, with more than 100 data points on most profiles, and analyst reviews that extend most reviewed profiles past 150 data points. Every output is traceable, and no assessment ships without human review, giving funders both the confidence in their decisions and the evidence to defend them.
Target Audience
Primary users are institutional funders—including private foundations, corporate foundations, and family offices—who lack in-house research staff and need defensible intelligence on grantee organizations. The platform also serves program officers, foundation leaders and boards, and corporate giving teams.
