Trace the recipient to the owners and the other organizations they are tied to, including nonprofits. Government records can add context, such as a status change or a filing worth reviewing.

QUESTION FOR THE ANALYST

How it connects
Award amounts and dates → recipient identifier → resolved legal entity

The name matches. The status has changed.

A tax-status change and an unresolved audit finding belong to the same recipient. Bring both into view alongside the active award, even when each source uses a different name.

QUESTION FOR THE ANALYST

Does the recipient still meet this program's requirements?

How it connects
Tax status and audit finding → name, EIN, and address match → recipient's active awards

The award file ends. The connections don't.

Start with the recipient, then look at related organizations, including ones more than one step away. A link might come from a filing, a shared officer, or another kind of tie. Not every link means the same thing.

QUESTION FOR THE ANALYST

Enigma shows what to check, your analyst decides what it means

Findings and related organizations can be reviewed alongside available records, so analysts can see what is documented and what still needs review

A federal agency awards a nonprofit

The nonprofit's selection chair decides where the funds go

That same chair directs a for-profit company

The funding reaches that for-profit's connected LLC

Your analyst assesses the relationship against your program's rules

FundingRelationships

A federal agency gives a prime award to Example Community Services, a nonprofit. Person A serves as selection chair and approves a subaward to Example Operations LLC. Person A is also director of Example Services Group, which owns Example Operations LLC. These relationships identify a potential conflict for an analyst to review under the program’s requirements; they do not by themselves establish fraud.

From application to closeout

Before award

Resolve the applicant's trading name to its legal entity. Check standing, exclusions and related entities before funds are obligated.

During the award

Flag status changes, exclusions and new filings against active awards before the next disbursement.

Across programs

See awards across a recipient and its related organizations. Explore corporate-family and affiliate connections without treating every link as ownership.
