Financial sustainability for the mission, with governance that is enforced, not just written
FINTO classifies the association's funds, identifies the investable surplus, and routes every opportunity through documented approval gates to the portfolio and the report. AI analyses, recommends and shows its sources; the decision always rests with the board.
The problem
Funds sit idle and decisions leave no trace
Many associations hold a surplus that could fund their mission for years, yet it stays in a current account because the path from surplus to a governed investment is unclear, and no one wants to carry a decision without a record.
Unclassified surplus
Waqf, restricted and general donations and operating surplus sit in one account, so no one knows what may be invested and what may not.
Decisions without a trail
Committees meet over email, minutes are written after the meeting, and conflicts of interest surface late.
Reports compiled by hand
The board, the auditor, the supervising authority and donors each ask for different figures, and no figure has a source to trace back to.
The four layers
A stable governance framework, digitised layer by layer
FINTO does not invent a new framework; it builds the established framework for charitable investment into software that enforces it.
Strategic factors
Before any investment: does regulation allow it? Does it fit the mission? How much can be invested without touching programmes?
- The regulatory environment and the association's bylaws
- The list of excluded sectors
- Risk appetite and its limits
- Fund classification and the investable surplus
Roles and responsibilities
Each role sees and approves only what it holds, and every action is attributed to its owner.
- Board: policy and final approval
- Investment committee: study and recommendation
- Executive management: linking returns to the operating budget
- The commercial arm, investors and the auditor
Governance and compliance rules
Rules checked automatically before approval, not clauses in a policy file.
- Legal and financial separation from the owned company
- Concentration and liquidity limits
- Conflict-of-interest disclosures and matching
- An immutable audit log and profit distribution
The investment cycle and its gates
From sourcing to the portfolio, with risk as a continuous layer, not a last step.
- Opportunity sourcing
- Due diligence
- Structuring and negotiation
- Portfolio and risk management
One deal through the gates
No opportunity advances a step without a recorded human decision
Follow one opportunity from surplus to report. At each gate there is a named decision-maker, a specific version of the file and a timestamp.

Guardrails
What policy forbids does not pass, and AI shows its basis
Governance is not a warning that can be skipped. Three cases from the demo that the system itself stops, and an AI draft that shows its inputs and sources before anyone decides.
Concentration limit exceeded
Approval blockedThe opportunity raises exposure to a single sector above the limit the board set in policy. The approve button is not shown at all, and the attempt is recorded in the audit log.
Conflict of interest
Recusal requiredAutomatic matching between related parties and members' disclosures, allowing for variations in how Arabic names are written. The member concerned does not vote and does not see the deliberation.
Separation of duties
Action refusedWhoever prepared the file does not approve it, and whoever approved the distribution does not execute it. The rule lives in the data layer, not the interface.
Early warning on a portfolio project
AI draft, not a decisionActual revenue against budget in the last quarter exceeds the approved variance rule. Requesting an explanation from the company's management before the next committee meeting is suggested.
- Inputs
- Q3 indicators submitted by the company · the linked budget line · the variance rule
- Reasoning
- Actual compared with planned on a single line, with no assumptions about next quarter
- Sources
- Project file PRJ-07 · committee minutes 12 · investment policy version 4
- Log
- Model, version, time, user and tenant, in the AI log
There is no “Apply” button. The only action: refer to the committee, by a human decision.
The network
A sector that learns from itself, and each board owns the disclosure decision
An optional module connecting participating associations without exposing any one's data unless its board decides.
Co-investment
Opportunities offered to other associations at the minimum disclosure level the board sets; the legal mechanism for pooling can be configured per opportunity.
Disclosure by board decisionBenchmarking
Anonymous sector-level indicators: classification ratios, gate times and quorum completion. No amounts and no returns.
AnonymousLibrary
Policy templates, bylaws and minutes, and opportunity-file templates, improving with every association that joins.
