Transparency
Our Financial Promise
We are committed to using your gift carefully and transparently. Our goal is to direct the vast majority of every public donation to family support. Basic operating costs (such as payment processing and required filings) are kept minimal and, when possible, covered by private donors. We publish our budget so donors can see how funds are allocated.
