Here is the honest route a single dollar takes from your card to a delivered outcome.<\/p><p class=\"mb-3\">Roughly four cents leave immediately in card and banking fees. We could hide this by asking you to cover it, but we would rather show it.<\/p><p class=\"mb-3\">Five cents fund the organization itself: the audit, the insurance, the small salaried team who negotiate with suppliers, chase grant paperwork and answer your emails.<\/p><p class=\"mb-3\">The remaining ninety-one cents reach a program. If you named a cause, they reach that cause. If you did not, they go to whichever active program is furthest from its goal that month.<\/p><p class=\"mb-3\">Every quarter we publish the ledger and an independent auditor reviews the annual accounts. If a figure on a cause page ever looks wrong to you, tell us: twice now a supporter has caught something before we did.<\/p><div class=\"card border-0 shadow-sm rounded-5 p-4 mt-5\"><div class=\"card-body\"><h4 class=\"fw-medium mb-3\">Support This Work<\/h4><p class=\"mb-4\">Every program described here is funded by donations and delivered by volunteers.
