🌟 You are capable. You are resilient. Your business matters.

For 501(c)(3) Nonprofits & Grantmakers

Keep your Candid Seal.
Add verified outcomes on top.

DowUrk doesn't replace the nonprofit credibility stack — we complete it. Candid verifies the organization. PROOF verifies the program and the people inside it. Two layers. One stack. Both required.

Two layers. One stack.

The nonprofit credibility stack

Funders look for two different signals — and they look for both. Candid and DowUrk serve different layers. Most nonprofits need both.

Layer 2 · Program & participant verification
DowUrk · PROOF for Cohorts
Open Badge v2.0 credentials · per-participant verification URLs · audit-ready outcomes
Layer 1 · Organizational verification
Candid · Seal of Transparency
Financial health · governance · Form 990 · org identity
What funders check
Candid
DowUrk PROOF
Organizational identity (EIN, board, Form 990)
Yes — Seal of Transparency
Not our role — keep your Candid Seal
Financial health + governance signals
Yes — public profile
Not our role
Program-level outcome evidence
Partial — self-reported fields
Yes — Open Badge v2.0 credentials per participant
Per-participant verification URL
No
Yes — public /verify/{id} link per credential
Work-sample evidence + employer sign-off
No
Yes — audit-ready under PROOF's 3 phases
Funder logic-model mapping (WIOA, CDBG, EDA, AmeriCorps)
No
Yes — outcomes pre-mapped to program categories
Best for funders asking…
"Is this org real and healthy?"
"Did this program actually work?"

Why this matters for your ED

Keep your Candid Seal. That's not up for debate. Then add DowUrk on top so when a funder asks "did the program actually work?" — you have a live verification URL for every participant, every badge, every outcome. Two layers. One stack. Both required.

How PROOF works

1 · Audit-Ready Intake

Participants enroll. Consent captured. Baseline data recorded in audit-ready form — under your cohort's logic model.

2 · Work-Sample Evidence

Participants submit ≥3 work samples. DowUrk-certified verifiers review against WIOA-aligned evidence standards.

3 · Employer / Funder Verification

Employer, supervisor, or funder signs DowUrk's attestation. Badge issued. Public /verify URL live.

Add DowUrk on top of your Candid Seal.

Month-to-month. First 25 participants free for the first 30 days. Receipts on every outcome.
