About

SAFE is a nonprofit watchdog and independent journalism platform dedicated to exposing fraud, mismanagement, and abuse within the nonprofit sector. Through rigorous data analysis, public records requests, and investigative reporting, SAFE holds charities and nonprofit developers accountable to the communities they claim to serve.

We provide the public, donors, policymakers, and the press with verified, actionable insights into the status and integrity of nonprofit organizations. Our work frequently results in regulatory action, public awareness, and formal revocation of tax-exempt status for organizations that violate public trust.

SAFE specializes in surfacing misconduct that often hides behind the veil of mission-driven language. Whether it’s financial mismanagement, misrepresentation of services, or regulatory evasion, we uncover the facts and publish them with clarity and urgency.

Our Key Services Include:
    •     Publishing forensic audits and data reports on high-risk nonprofits
    •     Producing web-ready press releases to alert the media and the public
    •     Partnering with public officials and oversight committees
    •     Educating donors and communities on how to identify red flags
    •     Amplifying voices of whistleblowers and impacted communities
    •     Maintaining a public directory of nonprofits with revoked or suspended status

SAFE’s releases are featured on national and local media platforms, with syndication across major newswires. We tailor each communication to the political, data, and community context most relevant to the region and issue.

As a platform that believes in civic responsibility and ethical philanthropy, we welcome tips, data leaks, and collaborations with journalists, analysts, and regulators. Our mission is not only to expose fraud, but also to rebuild trust in the nonprofit sector by ensuring transparency and accountability are non-negotiable.
