For Advancement Teams

Screen donors and sponsors before the gift posts — without stopping the campaign

OFAC exposure doesn’t stop at tuition. A donor, sponsor, or named-fund contributor on the SDN list is the same institutional risk. SecurePoint Education adds a screening layer to your intake workflow so advancement keeps moving — and flagged relationships get a licensing path, not a silent rejection.

The advancement risk

A named-gift incident outlives the campaign

The reputational and regulatory exposure from accepting a sanctioned donor's gift lasts far longer than the giving cycle that produced it. OFAC does not distinguish between tuition revenue and philanthropic revenue — both are covered transactions. The most expensive advancement mistake a school can make is one that becomes a Bloomberg headline two years after the gift was named.

What advancement gets

Screening designed for development operations

Not a finance-only workflow bolted onto donor intake.

Donor-level screening

Individual donors screened against OFAC SDN, consolidated lists, and enhanced sanctions programs — at intake and on a configurable re-screening cadence.

Entity and foundation screening

Corporate sponsors, family foundations, donor-advised funds, and charitable trusts screened as organizations (Plus and above).

Named-fund due diligence

Named-fund and planned-giving vehicles carry their own screening lane with beneficial-ownership context where available.

Campaign-safe review queue

Potential matches route to the right escalation owner — advancement director, general counsel, or business office — with decision templates that capture rationale.

Licensing-path preservation

A flagged major-gift donor can trigger the licensing engine. General License check, Specific License draft, license tracking — counsel-reviewed throughout.

Evidence for audit and stewardship

Every screening decision produces an evidence pack — usable in audit, board reporting, and stewardship documentation.
