Our principles

  • Verified need

    Qualified partners document scope, eligibility and the evidence required before allocations begin.

  • Dignity and consent

    Campaign stories and records protect privacy, informed consent and the agency of participating communities.

  • Accountable reporting

    Material decisions, changes and outcomes are published with a clear reporting period and evidence source.

Campaign governance roles

  • Campaign owner

    Owns the public goal, approved uses, updates and final reconciliation. Name the accountable person before launch.

  • Approval reviewer

    Reviews eligibility, conflicts, material changes and disbursements against the published policy.

  • Evidence custodian

    Maintains source records, consent and the reporting trail behind public claims.

How are decisions reviewed?
Name the accountable campaign owner and reviewer, then publish how conflicts, disbursements and material changes are approved.
