AI-Powered Due Diligence: Smarter, Faster Insights for Nonprofit Funding Decisions

If you’ve ever had to comb through IRS records, parse Form 990s, and stitch together a nonprofit’s story, you know it can be… a lot. The process is time-consuming, often messy, and prone to missed details.

That’s why we built Impala’s AI-powered Due Diligence tool — to help grantmakers, program officers, and nonprofit leaders get the complete picture in minutes, not days.

See a quick interactive demo:

Why This Matters for Philanthropy

Due diligence is one of the most important steps in grantmaking and nonprofit funding, but traditional methods rely on manual research across scattered sources. This often means valuable insights get buried in dense financial statements or overlooked entirely.

With Impala’s new tool, you get an instant, professional-grade PDF report — exportable, shareable, and built to surface the metrics that matter most. It’s like having a grantmaking mentor, accountant, and risk analyst sitting beside you.

What the AI Due Diligence Tool Delivers

  • Plain-language AI summaries that cut through complexity, highlighting exactly what matters in a nonprofit’s profile.
  • Charitable eligibility checks powered by IRS Pub 78, the EO Master File, and the Revocation List — updated automatically.
  • Financial health insights at a glance, with trends, liquidity ratios (like LUNA), and automated red flags so you know what to dig into.
  • Governance & capacity snapshots including board size, staff counts, reliance on major funders, and grant history.
  • Custom risk settings so you can define what constitutes a red flag for your organization.

Every metric comes with a second layer of data — so when you want to go deeper, the “why” behind the numbers is always right there.

Who It’s For

  • Grantmakers & Program Officers and foundations’ Executive Directors & Board Members: Make faster, more confident funding decisions.
  • Nonprofit Leaders: Benchmark against sector standards and prepare for funder reviews.
