Visit website ↗Fund stewardship
Goblis Foundation receives and controls program-support spending.
Program-support and donor funds designated for shared infrastructure and community delivery will be received through a ring-fenced Goblis Foundation account, subject to the final funding agreement. The arrangement separates support funds from commercial income and protects the purpose of each contribution.
- Approved budgets and restricted-purpose coding.
- Dual authorisation and segregation of duties.
- Procurement records, milestone evidence and reconciliations.
- Periodic donor reporting and independent audit.
- Labl Group program oversight and consolidated delivery reporting.
- No partner approves its own eligibility, evidence or payment exception.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Clear custody builds donor and community confidence.
A non-profit stewardship route makes the use of support funds easier to separate, control, reconcile and audit while specialist partners remain accountable for their own work plans and deliverables.
Final banking, fiduciary and reporting arrangements remain subject to the executed donor or partnership agreement and verified account documentation.Program budget
