Transparency & Integrity

At Project Gerson, transparency is more than a nonprofit principle - it’s personal. I was shaped by the Jesuit education I received, where integrity was non-negotiable. At my school, if a student stole even something as small as an ice cream sandwich from the cafeteria, he was immediately expelled (yes, it happened). The lesson was clear: honesty matters, even when no one is watching, even in the smallest of things.

That commitment to integrity is what I now carry into Project Gerson. When people trust us with their generosity, I believe they deserve to know exactly how that trust is honored.

Living Our Values Through Transparency

• Integrity in Action: We will always be honest by sharing victories as well as struggles.

• Cura Personalis (Care for the Whole Person): We show the progress of the boys with dignity, reminding everyone that each child is more than their challenges.

• Accountability to Our Mission: Every dollar entrusted to us is clearly tracked and shared, so you know where it goes.

• Service Rooted in Justice: We ensure that resources directly serve the boys who need them most.

  
  

Annual Report

Each year, we will publish a detailed report that includes:

• A breakdown of donations and expenses

• Clear explanations of how resources were used

• Reflections on challenges we faced and how we addressed them

• Our strategic goals for the year ahead

  
  

Why This Matters

Transparency isn’t just about numbers - it’s about trust. It’s about honoring supporters, respecting the boys, and staying true to the Jesuit values that formed me: integrity, accountability, and service to others.
