Transparency & ethics
Clear guardrails protect families and supporters. This page is the “trust anchor” of the project.
Consent
Families opt in, set boundaries, and can pause or stop at any time—no pressure, no guilt.
Privacy
No addresses, legal details, or sensitive identifiers. Data minimization by default.
Financial safety
Prefer approved rails (gift cards, vetted partners, receipts). Avoid direct cash transfers.
FAQ
It can be structured as a charity program or a relationship-based program with vetted partners. The safest go-live path uses a partner organization for verification and aid delivery.
Recommended: no direct cash. Use approved rails (gift cards, receipts, vetted partners) to reduce fraud and protect families.
Create a reporting channel and enforce immediate offboarding. Consent and safety override everything.
Best practice is verification through a trusted partner. If you verify internally, use multi-step checks, avoid collecting sensitive documents, and record consent.
