Trust Management Policy
We empower individuals and communities to manage their own trust funds. Anyone can establish and manage their own trust foundation as a client of our services.
However, it's important to note that trusts managed directly by clients without our organization as the designated trustee will not benefit from the collective results, resources, and network advantages that come from being part of our managed trust ecosystem.
Our organization provides value through shared infrastructure, collective bargaining power, standardized processes, and a network of expertise that individual trusts cannot access independently. By working with us as your trustee, you gain access to these benefits while maintaining control over your trust's specific objectives and distributions.
Committed to Accessibility
As a community-centered organization, we ensure that our trust management services are accessible to all who need them. We believe that financial barriers should never prevent communities from accessing essential trust management support.
All services provided by our organization are offered completely free of charge. We operate on a not-for-profit basis, relying on grants, donations, and partnerships to sustain our operations. Our funding model ensures that cost is never a barrier to receiving quality trust management support.
This commitment to accessibility is fundamental to our mission of creating equitable systems for trust management. We recognize that those who need these services most may be least able to afford them, which is why we have structured our organization to eliminate financial barriers entirely.
Our Developing Approach
As an early-stage organization, we continuously learn and adapt our approach based on community feedback and emerging best practices. We are committed to building our services in close collaboration with the communities we serve.
Our team brings diverse expertise in community development, governance, and social impact, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our work contributes meaningfully to community-led development.
