Nonprofits & Volunteers
Protect Your Mission.
Safeguard Your Community.
Your mission drives everything your organization stands for. One wrong hire or volunteer placement can put that mission, your reputation, and the people you serve at risk. Nonprofits face unique challenges when balancing open, mission-driven hiring with the need to protect vulnerable populations and maintain donor and funder trust.
SureCheck’s fast, affordable, and nonprofit‑friendly background screening solutions give you the confidence to bring in staff and volunteers without compromising safety or compliance. Whether you’re onboarding one seasonal volunteer or launching a large-scale recruitment drive, our tools help you screen quickly, thoroughly, and fairly.
Grant Compliance Screening Requirements
Many federal, state, and private grant programs require documented background checks: especially for projects serving youth, seniors, or other vulnerable populations. Funders expect proof that your hiring and volunteer onboarding processes meet their safety standards, and failing to comply can result in lost funding or clawbacks.
SureCheck provides the thorough documentation, audit-ready reports, and role-specific screening packages you need to satisfy grant requirements, pass compliance reviews, and maintain eligibility for future funding opportunities.
Layered Screening to Reduce Risk
We go beyond basic, single-database checks that can leave dangerous gaps. Our nonprofit screening packages can include:
Multi-State Criminal Searches – Identify offenses across all states where the individual has lived, worked, or studied.
County-Level Criminal Searches – Uncover records often missed in national databases.
Sex Offender Registry Checks – Search nationwide databases for offenses against vulnerable populations.
Social Security Number Trace – Verify identity and reveal address history for targeted searches.
Ongoing Monitoring – Get alerts for new offenses post-hire or post-placement.
Secure Add-Ons:
Driving Record Checks – Verify license status and uncover traffic violations for roles involving transportation.
Abuse Registry Searches – Identify individuals with documented histories of abuse or neglect, especially critical for youth and elder care programs.
Civil Records Searches – Reveal lawsuits, restraining orders, and other non-criminal legal actions that may pose risk.
OIG/GSA Exclusions – Screen against federal exclusion lists to ensure compliance with government contracts and healthcare-related grants.
Drug Screening – Maintain a safe, reliable workforce by identifying potential substance use issues before placement.
Employment & Professional Reference Checks – Validate work history, performance, and reliability through direct employer or supervisor feedback.
Social Media & Online Reputation Screening – Uncover publicly available online content that may indicate behavioral risks or conflict with your organization’s values.
Case Study:
When One Missed Check Costs Everything
In Connecticut, a volunteer girls' basketball coach named Bryan Baez‑Rivera was arrested after driving into a parent following a dispute at a youth game. That coach had multiple felony convictions over the past decade that would have disqualified him, but he wasn’t screened before assuming the volunteer position. It later emerged that no background check was ever completed, violating state law that requires comprehensive screening for youth sports volunteers.
Affordable, Scalable, and Mission-Aligned
We understand nonprofits operate with tight budgets. That’s why we offer discounted rates, customizable packages, and quick turnaround times, so you can screen every staff member and volunteer without draining resources or delaying programs.
