How we track every dollar — and why we publish the receipts
Transparency is not a marketing word. Here is exactly how donations move from your card to a clinic shelf, and how we keep score.
Every donation is tagged at the moment it arrives. By the time it leaves our account it has a destination, a partner, and a category code. We publish a quarterly ledger that any donor can download — line by line, anonymized only for privacy.
88 cents of every dollar goes directly to programs. 7 cents goes to fundraising. 5 cents goes to administration. Independent auditors review these numbers annually and we publish their full report, including any findings, on our transparency page.
We do this because trust is the only currency that compounds. We would rather lose a donor who disagrees with our spending than keep one who never knew.
