To protect donor trust and keep impact focused, we generally don’t fund:

  • Routine operating expenses (overhead, payroll, rent, utilities)

  • Ongoing subscriptions/recurring costs without a clear long-term plan

  • Political, religious, or lobbying activities

  • Projects that can’t be verified or lack leadership authorization (when required)
