Modevity Expands ‘Know Your Donor’ Investigative Due Diligence Research For Universities

Modevity, LLC, a leading Commercial Intelligence firm established in 2004 providing Investigative Due Diligence Research Services, announced today that they are expanding their services to include ‘Know Your Donor’ Investigative Due Diligence support to Universities, Charitable organizations, and NGO’s.

University development fundraising programs are facing a public relations crisis.  Over the last few years there have been major examples of regulatory lapses and adverse media that are far reaching – from Sackler family to Jeffrey Epstein, and highly questionable money from Saudi and Chinese entities.

While contributions from controversial funding sources might once have been welcomed, they have now put many Universities and Charities under intense scrutiny.

These relationships and contributions, once revealed, give rise to uncomfortable questions from the media, legislators, student and faculty groups, and other key stakeholders.  Who knew what, and when?  Was there an extensive Due Diligence vetting and approval process done prior to accepting these funds?  What policies and procedures could have averted the problem?  What should be changed going forward?

“A University or Charitable organization’s reputation could be on the line, and the senior leadership positions at risk when questionable money is accepted,” Stated Tom J. Canova, CMO, Modevity.

The recent example of the Epstein case shows how fast reputations can change.  Your celebrity donor today can tomorrow be vilified in the media and with your stakeholder community. Investigative Due Diligence research is vital to the fundamental ‘Know Your Donor’ program and Compliance Risk Management initiatives.  And it needs to be part of a continuous process.

“Modevity’s experienced investigative analysts can search vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently through our powerful AI database technology platforms and open source tools,” continued Mr. Canova.

The Modevity team can help Universities and Charities quickly verify data about individuals, entities, Federal and Global Sanctions, Pep Lists, assets, adverse media, social media, litigation history, criminal records, judgements, professional licenses, patents, and more.  Modevity’s skilled research analysts can uncover concealed relationships, connections, and complex foreign and domestic networks.

Modevity provides professional Investigative Due Diligence Research services to support several market segments and organizational use cases including, Legal, M&A Portfolio Management, Law Enforcement, Supply Chain Risk Management, Executive Due Diligence and KYC.
