Team & Board
Our board's independent judgment is the credibility. It's not optional — it's the mechanism that makes this giving model work.

Our board, not our donors, decides what we fund — applying our five-point standard to every project. An independent board is both a legal requirement and the foundation of donor trust.

Why an independent board matters: Our board members are not the same people as our executive staff. For a grant-making charity, independent board judgment is part of both the credibility and the legal posture. Donors support the mission and may express a preference — the board decides what gets funded.
The executive team sources and evaluates projects, then presents recommendations to the board. The board applies the five-point standard and makes final funding decisions.
Donors may express a preference for a featured project when they give. But giving does not create a binding earmark — that's both a legal requirement and a feature of the model. An independent board applying a published standard is what makes this giving vehicle trustworthy.
