Trilha Benchmark · external potential Beta

See the resource potential around your organization.

Compare your organization with similar organizations and see early funding signals, based on the CNPJ and public data. It's the fastest way to start; the Institutional Assessment takes the analysis deeper.

Brazilian CSOs and nonprofits only. The first lookup is free with no sign-up; for other CNPJs, all you need is your name and a confirmed email (up to 10 per day).

The first lookup is free.

The first CNPJ requires no sign-up. To compare other organizations, all you need is your name and a confirmed email: up to 10 CNPJs per day, with a 2-minute interval between lookups, so as not to overload the public sources.

Comparable organizations—Organizations with a similar theme, audience and operating model.
Projects observed—Records found in the connected sources.
Comparables with an international signal in validation—Among the comparable organizations, those with international funding on record.
Related funders in validation—Funders that have supported comparable organizations, according to international records.

Organizations for comparison

Organizations with a comparable theme, sub-theme, audience and operating model. Size, age and territory help rank the list.

In validationNew international funding analysis

We're validating the comparables with an international signal and the related funders to ensure the data is reliable.

The data shown represents records observed in the sources consulted. The absence of a record doesn't mean there is no funding, project or institutional capacity.

Trilha Intelligence · coming soon

We're validating the analysis that shows which comparable organizations receive international funding and from which funders. Meanwhile, the Institutional Assessment shows how much of your potential the structure can realize.

International activities (IATI)—

Activities related to the organization looked up, excluding duplicate GlobalGiving records.

GlobalGiving projects—

The organization's projects on the GlobalGiving channel, shown separately.

Comparables with an international signal—

Comparable organizations with records in at least one international source.

International coverage—

Shows which connectors were available for this lookup.

Comparables with an international signal

Channel observed for a comparable organization.

Funders observed among comparable organizations

Identified in reported international transactions. This is not a complete list of funders.

Funders observed for the organization looked up

What the data shows, and what it doesn't.

The indicators come from traceable public sources. “Not identified” is not the same as “doesn't exist”: the absence of a record doesn't mean there is no funding, project or capacity.

How the data is handled

Observed data

Mapa das OSCs (Brazil's CSO registry) for identity, areas of work and projects; CNPJ data for economic activity profile and age; Transferegov for government partnerships; and sector connectors such as SALIC, CNES and CNEAS where coverage allows.

No double counting

GlobalGiving also publishes its projects to IATI. Trilha identifies this overlap: the GlobalGiving channel is shown separately and its records don't artificially inflate the independent IATI count.

Gate before score

An organization only enters the benchmark if there is minimum evidence of comparability in theme, sub-theme, target audience and operating model. Official sector cohorts widen the pool of candidates; economic activity (CNAE), size and age refine peers that are already eligible — they don't create affinity on their own.

Explicit coverage

Every result must carry its source, update date and coverage level. “Not identified” is not the same as “doesn't exist”.

Frequently asked questions

What the CNPJ lookup shows, where the data comes from and who can use it.

Is the CNPJ potential lookup free?

Yes. The first lookup is free and requires no sign-up. To look up other organizations, just enter your name and email and confirm your email: up to 10 CNPJs per day, with a 2-minute interval between lookups, so as not to overload the public sources.

Which organizations can be looked up?

The Trilha Benchmark is exclusively for Brazilian civil society organizations (CSOs and nonprofits), such as associations and private foundations listed in Ipea's Mapa das OSCs. Company CNPJs can't be looked up.

What does the lookup show?

The organization's public identity, area of work, territory and observed projects; comparable organizations by theme, sub-theme, audience and operating model; and national funding signals, such as government partnerships recorded in Transferegov. The international funding analysis (comparables with an international signal and related funders, based on IATI and GlobalGiving) will be Trilha Intelligence, now in validation: you can join the list to be among the first to test it.

Where does the data come from?

From traceable public sources: Mapa das OSCs (Ipea), open CNPJ data (Brazil's Federal Revenue Service), Transferegov, IATI and GlobalGiving, plus sector connectors such as SALIC, CNES and CNEAS where coverage allows.

If my organization doesn't show any funding, does that mean it receives no resources?

No. The absence of records in public sources doesn't mean there is no funding, project or institutional capacity. The results show what was observed in the sources consulted, with the coverage of each one.

What should I do after the lookup?

The next step is the Institutional Assessment, also free: in 20 to 30 minutes, it compares the organization's current capacity with the capacity its goal requires, across the eight dimensions, and shows how much of the identified potential the structure can realize.
