Governance
Governance and transparency.
Independent oversight, ethical accountability, and structural protections against mission drift. We welcome scrutiny.
How we are governed
Four governance pillars.
These exist by structure, not by goodwill. Each one is written into the constitution.
Foundation constitution
A formal charter defining our mission, ethical red lines, and governance principles. The Foundation cannot be sold or its mission altered without trustee approval.
Board of trustees
An independent board responsible for strategic oversight and mission protection. No single person controls the Foundation.
Ethics advisory council
Advisory body providing oversight on income, investments, and compliance with the Foundation's ethical principles.
Transparency and audit
Annual public reports, financial statements, and independent audits. Full commitment to transparency and sharing.
Board of trustees
Independent oversight.
Trustees are responsible for strategic oversight and mission protection.
