U.S. nonprofit controls
Planned 501(c)(3) governance includes board oversight, conflict-of-interest controls, restricted funds tracking, and foreign grantmaking discipline.
Governance
Built for donors who need seriousness before scale.
The plan anticipates a U.S. nonprofit parent entity, Cambodian operating compliance, transparent grant controls, and school-level reporting so capital is protected while children are protected.
Cambodia compliance
The operating pathway accounts for LANGO registration, ministry filings, local bank notification, tax registration, labor rules, and annual financial filing.
Donor reporting
Reports should connect funds to helmets, schools, workshops, observed helmet use, trade-ins, and unresolved needs.
Transparency
The Year 1 budget makes the first dollars legible.
The research model uses a $25,000 pilot budget aimed at 1,000 helmets, with most funds going to inventory and the remaining budget supporting school logistics, parent education, and legal setup.
Before public launch
Tax-deductibility language, Cambodian registration pathway, payment processing, financial controls, and source citations should be reviewed by qualified legal, tax, and program advisors.
Why invest
Good governance turns a generous idea into a durable institution.
The operating model is designed to earn repeat funding: clear controls, conservative claims, local compliance, and measurable school outcomes.
