Helping non-profit leaders protect integrity, Build Trust, and Act with Confidence
Non-profit and philanthropic organizations operate in high-trust environments where reputation, transparency, and stakeholder confidence are essential. Mintz Group supports foundations, NGOs, advocacy groups, educational nonprofits, humanitarian organizations, and donor-advised funds with intelligence that helps them navigate reputational risk, vet key relationships, and uphold governance standards.
Our work helps mission-driven institutions validate donors, assess leadership integrity, and investigate program risks—especially in politically sensitive or high-risk jurisdictions. Whether preparing for public scrutiny, responding to a crisis, or evaluating a strategic partnership, we deliver discreet, defensible, and decision-ready insights tailored to the nonprofit sector.
Mintz Group’s investigations support donor acceptance committees, board appointments, and grantmaking decisions with structured findings that align with institutional values and withstand external scrutiny. We help clients assess source of funds, political exposure, and ethical concerns—ensuring alignment with governance standards and safeguarding public trust.
Our team also mobilizes quickly in response to sensitive incidents, including harassment, financial mismanagement, and reputational crises. We work closely with legal counsel, communications teams, and board leadership to contain risk and support corrective action.
What We Help Clients Solve
Our services are built around core capabilities designed to address the evolving risks and responsibilities facing non-profit & philanthropic organizations:

Compliance & Governance Support
We help organizations meet regulatory and fiduciary obligations by conducting internal reviews, policy audits, and investigations tied to donor intent, conflict of interest, and financial transparency. Our work supports compliance with OFAC, FCPA, and other frameworks relevant to global philanthropy.
