On POINT, background checks are nonprofit specific.
What does that mean for a volunteer?
Meaning when a nonprofit invites you to complete a background check only that nonprofit can review your background check results and those results are not shared with any other entity. Your background check results are securely run and stored in Checkr, POINT's background check partner.
Each nonprofit decides how they use the results of a background check report in order to decide who may volunteer for their organization.
The status of your background check may be shared with an organization co-hosting an event you've signup for or a company or organization on POINT you have joined. But, again, the results are only shared with the requesting nonprofit.
If you want to volunteer for another nonprofit on POINT, you may be asked to complete another background check for that organization.
What does that mean for a nonprofit?
With nonprofit specific background checks, nonprofits have complete transparency to build trust and safety at their organization.
Nonprofits can request the type of background check they need for their organization (not all background checks are the same).
