  • Enable search, filtering, and discovery across the platform

Use of AI and Automation

WellFunded uses AI to help analyze and organize information at scale, including:

  • Applying consistent frameworks during due diligence processes

AI is used to support clarity and efficiency. It does not make giving decisions or replace human judgment.

Data Accuracy and Updates

Charities and users can update the information they provide directly on the platform. If generated content needs to be refreshed after an update, the WellFunded team can assist.

Data Protection and Responsibility

WellFunded applies appropriate safeguards to protect user information and limits access to data based on intended use.
