Transparency & Nonprofit Status
We hold ourselves to the same standard of scrutiny we apply to everything else — open, documented, and publicly available.
Legal & Organizational Details
Financial Reporting
We are committed to full financial transparency. As we complete our first fiscal year of operations, we will publish financial summaries and, ultimately, IRS Form 990 filings accessible to the public.
Annual Report — 2025
Our first annual report will be published following the close of our initial grant cycle. It will include a full accounting of revenue, expenses, grant distributions, and program outcomes.
IRS Form 990
Form 990 is a public document filed annually with the IRS by 501(c)(3) organizations. It provides detailed financial information about the organization's activities, governance, and compensation. We will publish our 990 here when filed.
Grant Distributions
We publish the total dollar amount granted per cycle, the number of recipients, and the types of programs funded. We do not publish individual recipient information without consent.
Administrative Expense Ratio
We are committed to keeping administrative and fundraising expenses below 20% of total revenue, maximizing the share of every donated dollar that goes directly to grant funding.
Governance
Board of Directors
The board is currently forming. Board members serve in a fiduciary capacity, overseeing the organization's finances, strategy, and mission alignment. Board composition and meeting minutes will be published once the board is constituted.
Conflict of Interest Policy
All board members and officers are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest annually. Interested parties recuse themselves from decisions where a conflict exists. Our conflict of interest policy will be published here.
Compensation Disclosure
Compensation for officers and key employees will be disclosed in our annual Form 990 filing. We are committed to compensation that is reasonable, documented, and publicly visible.
Whistleblower Policy
We maintain a confidential mechanism for reporting concerns about financial impropriety, ethical violations, or mission drift. No retaliation against good-faith reporters is tolerated.
Our Transparency Commitment
We believe an organization that asks people to trust it with their money — and their wellbeing — has an obligation to be transparent about everything. Not selectively transparent. Not transparent when it's convenient. Fully and proactively transparent.
That means publishing outcomes even when they're mixed. Publishing financials even when they're modest. Publishing our governance documents even when they're imperfect drafts. The goal is not optics — it is accountability.
If you cannot find information you believe we should be disclosing, please ask us directly. We take those requests seriously.

Every donation helps us fund grants, measure outcomes, and prove that access works.
