100% Donation POLICY
Volunteer Led Charity
100% Donation Policy
We operate with a 100% donation policy, ensuring every penny of your donation goes directly to our projects. Operational costs are covered through separate funding or Gift Aid, so all donations directly benefit those in need.
A 100% donation policy means that every penny donated by our supporters goes directly to the charitable cause they select. None of these funds are used for administrative or operational costs.
This approach ensures that donations have the maximum possible impact while fostering trust and confidence among our donors.
Transparency & Trust
How do we Cover Operational & Admin Costs?
To maintain this policy, we rely on separate funding streams and volunteer services to cover administrative and overhead expenses. This includes seeking pro bono support from professionals and volunteers wherever possible.
We are committed to ethical financial management and sustainability, recognizing that as we grow, the need for dedicated funding to cover operational costs will also increase.
Why Is Transparency Important?
In philanthropy, trust and transparency are paramount. Our 100% donation policy underscores our dedication to ethical practices, ensuring that every donation fulfills its intended purpose without dilution or compromise.
This model not only aligns with the highest principles of charity but also reassures donors that their contributions make a direct and meaningful impact.
Sustainable Growth and Commitment
We approach our growth with care, aiming for it to be organic, controlled, and sustainable. While this policy presents challenges, such as the need for meticulous financial management, we believe it is vital to uphold our principles and maximize the benefit to those in need.
By adhering to this model, we emphasize the purity of intention among our volunteers and the unwavering focus on serving those who need it most.
