How do I know a funder or an organization on the site is real?
KujaLink verifies users and organizations in several ways.
- Verified e-mail accounts – every new user must respond to a verification e-mail sent to the account they use to register.
- All new registrations are approved by a member of the platform team after we verify their e-mail against a list of approved domains (the domain names of organizations with whom we are currently working). If they are not using an e-mail from an approved domain we check for affiliation.
- All new registrants must name an organization with whom they are affiliated which our team then checks for an online presence (website, social media account)
- All new registrants are asked to name a funder or network with whom they are connected which our team then checks for an online presence (website, social media account) and if they are a member of the the platform.
- If we still cannot verify the user we reach out directly and arrange for a video call.
- Soon we will add an ‘invitation’ feature to the site so existing users can invite new users from their network of partners or grantees.
