Governance
Accountability is a
daily discipline.
Every donation the Noble Impact Fund receives is a fiduciary responsibility. We govern the Fund as if the public were sitting on our board — because, in every meaningful sense, they are.
Six Pillars of Oversight
The systems that make our promises credible.
Independent Board
A majority-independent board of directors — including professionals unaffiliated with the founding firms — sets policy, approves budgets, and reviews grant activity.
Annual Independent Audit
Financial statements will be audited annually by an independent public accounting firm once operations begin. Audits and Form 990 filings will be published on this site as they are completed.
Written Policies
Conflict-of-interest, whistleblower, document-retention, gift-acceptance, and investment policies are adopted in writing and reviewed annually by the board.
Program Outcomes
Every program will publish defined outcome measures — families stabilized, medical needs supported, veterans supported — and report against them each fiscal year.
Recipient Confidentiality
Assistance recipients are never named or pictured publicly without their written, revocable consent. Case files are held under strict confidentiality controls.
Registered & Compliant
The Fund will register to solicit charitable contributions in every state that requires it, and will comply with all applicable federal, state, and IRS reporting obligations.
Financial Discipline
Targeted expense ratios.
These are the operating targets the Fund intends to hold itself to once operations begin. Actual ratios will be reported each year in our audited financial statements.
