Volunteer background screenings for non-profit organizations

You Focus on Your Mission. We’ll Help Protect It.

Non-profits do big work with lean teams. Whether you’re serving meals, mentoring kids, running shelters, or hosting community events, you rely on people—staff, volunteers, board members—to make the magic happen. But when your organization’s heart is its people, screening matters.


Even one bad hire or volunteer experience can harm your community trust. That’s where a background screening partner makes all the difference.


Why Should Non-Profits Run Background Checks?

Because your mission depends on your reputation.


Many non-profits operate with limited oversight and lean HR processes. But you’re still legally and ethically responsible for who represents your organization.


Background checks help:

  • Ensure the safety of your clients, especially children and vulnerable populations

  • Reduce the risk of fraud or theft

  • Meet grant and insurance requirements

  • Preserve the credibility of your cause


What Type of Screening Do Non-Profits Need?

We offer flexible solutions that scale with your staffing model and budget.


Volunteer Background Checks

Light, fast checks that flag basic criminal records and help you vet new volunteers quickly and affordably.


Education and Employment Verification

Confirm qualifications for roles that involve finance, counseling, teaching, or leadership.


Fingerprinting (when required)

Needed for roles with children or vulnerable adults, depending on your state’s licensing or funding source.


Custom Packages

We work with you to create a package that balances cost, speed, and risk tolerance.


Are These Services Affordable for Non-Profits?

Yes—we understand nonprofit budgets. We offer these options for those on a budget:

  • Discounted pricing for 501(c)(3) organizations

  • Pay-per-use options (no monthly minimums)

  • Batch processing for large volunteer events

  • Screening doesn’t have to break your budget—and not screening could cost you more in the long run.


Frequently Asked Background Checks Questions for Non-Profits

Q: Do we need to screen every volunteer?

Ideally, yes—especially those working with children, finances, or at-risk communities. We can help prioritize based on roles.


Q: How often should background checks be updated?

Annually is a good rule of thumb, but we also offer continuous monitoring if needed.


Q: Can you help us stay compliant with grant requirements?

Absolutely. We’ll help align your screening process with what funders or insurance carriers require.
