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.
