How we classify
Where an organization spans more than one category, it is listed under its primary function. Some organizations may not fit neatly into one subtype, and those cases are handled on a best-effort basis.
How we verify
- Automated checks confirm submitted details and basic record consistency.
- Desk review compares the listing with public sources and category criteria.
- Direct outreach is used when public sources are inconclusive or clarification is needed.
How we maintain accuracy
- Quarterly reviews for inactive or outdated listings
- Corrections based on public sources or direct confirmation
- Ongoing review of new submissions
What we do not do
- Endorse listed organizations
- Broker deals or introductions
- Take commissions or referral fees
- Sell or share user data
