Funding Status & Planned Transparency
Compassion Seed is not currently accepting money. This page documents the safeguards and accounting standards required before that can change.
No payment processor, public contribution account, verified beneficiary, or post-relaunch transaction is active.
What must be verified before funding opens
- A real legal operator, authorized representative, payout beneficiary, and records owner are approved.
- Federal tax status or a fiscal sponsor is documented, along with an accurate statement about whether contributions are tax-deductible.
- Georgia charitable-solicitation registration or a documented exemption is confirmed before any request for money or property.
- The approved processor, deposit account, processor fees, refunds, restricted funds, reimbursements, and permitted operating costs are disclosed.
- Bookkeeping, approval thresholds, receipt retention, reconciliation, fraud response, and public-reporting responsibilities are assigned.
- A verified public contact and privacy process exist for donor questions, corrections, and data requests.
Planned public ledger
A public ledger is a transparency aid, not a substitute for complete private accounting, required filings, or retained source records. Public entries will reconcile money received, fees and refunds, purchases, and the remaining balance.
| Date | Gross received | Fees / refunds | Net deposited | Purchases | General area or partner | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial contributions are not open; no post-relaunch transactions are recorded. | ||||||
Evidence and privacy standard
Private records will retain source documents for the period required by applicable law and policy. Any public receipt or record will be a redacted copy that removes donor names, payment details, transaction identifiers, precise outreach locations, and other identifying information. Photos are never proof of need or a condition of care.
