The Challenge

Universities and charities accepting philanthropic gifts face a critical obligation: ensuring every donation comes from a legitimate, reputable source. Your development team needs to verify donors, screen for sanctions, check company records, and document everything — all before a gift can be accepted.

For most organisations, this means hours of manual research per donor across multiple databases, inconsistent investigation depth depending on who conducts the check, and a constant risk of missing something important.

The Solution

Doozer's AI agents conduct the entire due diligence process automatically. A single request triggers a comprehensive, multi-source investigation that runs in parallel — checking company registries, sanctions lists, financial filings, and open-source intelligence simultaneously.

The result is a structured, evidence-based report delivered directly to the requesting officer's inbox, complete with source citations and a clear risk assessment.
