Our founding charter — written in 2010 and never amended — contains a legally binding commitment that total administrative and fundraising overhead will never exceed 4% of annual revenue. We have honoured this commitment in every single year since our incorporation.
This is not an aspiration or a target. It is the floor below which our operations are structured to remain, regardless of growth, emergency, or operational pressure. The Board of Directors reviews overhead compliance quarterly.
Founding Charter, Article IV, Section 3: "Total administrative and fundraising expenditure shall not exceed four percent (4%) of gross annual revenue in any fiscal year. Any year-end excess above this threshold shall be subject to mandatory Board review and rectification in the subsequent fiscal year."
Full independent audits have been conducted annually since 2012. Since 2018, all audits have been performed by Deloitte LLP. Every audit has returned a clean opinion with zero material findings.
Form 990 is the annual information return required of US nonprofits by the Internal Revenue Service. All filings are public record and available here without requiring login or registration.
Our financial practices are independently verified by the most respected nonprofit watchdog organisations in the United States. These ratings are not self-reported — they are awarded based on external review of our publicly filed documents.
