Policies
International Charitable Activities
A draft describing how charitable activity outside the United States should be documented, restricted, and kept separate from private use.
Programs described on this website
Public pages describe charitable activity connected with the United States, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Awaiting confirmation: the countries where the foundation is registered, the local partners it uses, and whether funds are sent to a partner organization or used directly.
Purpose of funds sent abroad
Funds described as international program support should be used for the charitable purpose the donor was told. A restricted gift should stay with that restriction. This draft does not claim that every past transfer has been independently audited.
Knowing the recipient
Before funds are sent for use outside the United States, the foundation’s intended practice is to record who will receive them, what charitable work they are for, and how the foundation will learn whether they were used for that work. Awaiting confirmation: the review steps, the records required, and who is authorized to approve a transfer.
Sanctions and private use
The foundation’s website and accounts must not be used to hide the source or destination of funds, to evade sanctions, or to move money for a private person without a documented charitable purpose. Awaiting confirmation: whether a sanctions-screening service is in use. This page does not claim that screening already happens automatically.
