Principles
How we account for money.
- 01Every dollar is tracked from donor to program. Designated gifts go to that pillar, full stop. Pooled gifts are deployed by board resolution and reported in the annual letter.
- 02We publish what we did, annually. The annual letter lists program outlays, partner organizations, and outcomes. No exceptions, no missing line items.
- 03We don't pay staff salaries. The president and board serve without compensation. Operating expenses are limited to compliance, filings, and infrastructure.
- 04We make filings available on request. Form 990s, the determination letter, governance policies, and board minutes are released to any donor or grantor who asks.
