Governance
Trust begins with clear responsibilities.
The intended framework for how the Foundation would make decisions, oversee funds, protect people and report results. These are commitments for the proposal, not policies already in operation.

01
Fair decisions
Publish eligibility criteria and explain how applicants can raise concerns about a decision.
02
Financial oversight
Record funds received and disbursed, establish independent audit arrangements, and report how authorized funds are used.
03
Conflicts of interest
Require decision-makers to disclose relevant interests and step aside where required.
04
Pilgrim protection
Define safeguards for staff, volunteers and partners, with a process for receiving and addressing concerns.
05
Privacy
Collect only the information each activity needs and explain how it is used, who can access it and how long it is kept.
06
Public reporting
Publish program status, participation and outcomes as activities become operational, while protecting beneficiaries’ privacy.
