Donor and partner research tool
UK charity due diligence checker before donating or partnering
Use this checklist before donating to, funding, commissioning, or partnering with a UK charity. It turns public-source research into a repeatable review: official register, accounts, website, fundraising route, governance context, policies, and escalation route.
Checks9Weighted around official-source evidence, not reputational labelling.
Official sourceRegister firstStart with the Charity Commission public register and full register extract.

Official sources to open first
- Charity Commission public register for the live public charity record, status, filings, trustees, and regulatory information.
- Charity Commission full register download for the public extract used by this site's data pipeline.
- UK Charity Intelligence methodology for how this site keeps thin charity profiles out of the sitemap and uses source-led checks.
How to use the result
- Use a low score as a signal to gather more public-source evidence before donating, awarding funds, buying services, or publishing claims.
- Do not treat this as a final judgement about a charity, trustee, campaign, fundraiser, or platform.
- If there is a concern, keep evidence and use the appropriate official, platform, bank, regulator, or charity contact route.
- For large grants, restricted donations, safeguarding concerns, legal questions, or procurement decisions, get professional advice before relying on public summaries.
