Provides logs of donors, donation amounts, timestamps, and any recorded details from crowdfunding or charitable donation platforms. This data enables investigators to:

  • Track unusual spikes or patterns in donations.
  • Identify recurring donors, cross-reference incomplete donor details, or detect multiple donations originating from high-risk sources.
  • Correlate donation flow with other indicators (e.g., lack of disclosed fund sources, inadequate KYC) to uncover potential laundering activity within charitable organizations.
  • Track funds donated for nonprofit-driven construction initiatives, verifying final recipients and usage.
  • Flag movements of donated assets into personal or affiliate accounts, revealing misuse or misappropriation.
  • Detect signs of layering where charitable funds are redirected under false pretexts of building community infrastructure.
  • Contains donor account details, donation timestamps, amounts, and associated metadata (e.g., IP addresses).
  • Reveals suspicious patterns such as newly created accounts, repeated or large donations from a small group, or inconsistencies in donor profiles.
  • Assists in detecting layered contributions aimed at obscuring the origin of illicit funds.

Collects data from online fundraising platforms, including donor identities, amounts, and stated purposes. This allows investigators to distinguish genuine contributions from remittances falsely labeled as charitable donations, a common tactic for disguising illicit funds.

  • Captures donor identities, contribution amounts, and donation histories from online fundraising or donation platforms.
  • Verifies whether a purported campaign actually exists, helping detect sudden, unexplained inflows labeled as charitable gifts.
  • Cross-checks donor legitimacy against KYC or external profiles to identify anomalies suggesting a laundering scheme.

  • Exposes suspicious or fabricated charitable campaigns used to solicit fraudulent donations.
  • Enables cross-checking of donation patterns against known fraud markers (e.g., misappropriated funds, repeated small deposits).
  • Provides detailed campaign and donor information, including donor identities, donation amounts, timestamps, and references to specific causes.
  • Enables detection of repeat or suspicious donations across multiple campaigns, verifies the authenticity of fundraising appeals, and links them to personal accounts instead of legitimate nonprofit organizations.

Logs of donations, donor identities, and designated recipient information allow for the verification of whether purported charitable contributions align with credible charitable organizations, helping to identify possible misrepresentation.

This data source comprises records from online fundraising platforms, capturing donor identities, contribution amounts, timestamps, and intended purposes. Examining these logs helps identify suspicious donation patterns, detect multiple reimbursements, and confirm compliance with campaign finance rules, thereby aiding in the detection of illicit political contributions.
