Because someone has to watch the watchmen. It might as well be us. For a fee.
To safeguard public trust in the nonprofit sector by identifying fraud, waste, and mismanagement — and replacing it with our own.
At F.R.A.U.D., we believe that every dollar donated to a nonprofit should be accounted for, tracked, and ideally, passed through at least three of our subsidiary consulting firms before reaching its intended destination. Our rigorous oversight methodology has been described as "unprecedented," "baffling," and "currently under review" by leading industry watchdogs.
The Foundation for Responsible Allocation of Undirected Disbursements was founded by Dr. Richard Grantley III in January 2023, after he witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of nonprofit fraud during a 45-minute Wikipedia browsing session.
Moved to action, Dr. Grantley incorporated F.R.A.U.D. on a Tuesday. By Friday, the organization had been awarded a $48 million federal contract to investigate nonprofit fraud. "The timing was purely coincidental," Dr. Grantley has stated, through his attorney.
Today, F.R.A.U.D. operates out of a modest 12,000-square-foot office in downtown Washington, D.C., with satellite offices in the Cayman Islands, Monaco, and a P.O. Box in Delaware that we check semi-annually.
