About · Accountability
Trust is built through clear responsibilities and public information
Favored Generation is committed to responsible governance, lawful operations, participant protection, financial stewardship, privacy, accessible service, and honest reporting. This page sets out who is responsible for what, and how to raise a concern.
Legal status
Legal registration
Favored Generation operates through separately registered entities in Canada and the United States. Each entity is responsible for its own compliance, financial reporting and donation receipting in its own jurisdiction.
United States · 501(c)(3)
EIN 93-3319325
Neither entity can issue a tax receipt valid in the other’s jurisdiction. Choose the entity for your own country when you give, and the receipt will come from that entity.
Oversight
Board oversight and financial control
What the Board approves
Strategy, budgets, material policies, major risks, senior leadership accountability, and annual reporting. Directors are expected to act in the organization’s best interest, disclose conflicts, protect confidential information, and exercise appropriate care.
See who serves on the BoardFinancial controls
Approved budgets, documented spending authority, separation of incompatible duties where practical, bank reconciliation, supporting records, restricted-fund tracking, Board financial review, and independent professional support appropriate to the size and legal obligations of each entity.
Conflicts of interest
Directors, officers, staff and relevant volunteers must disclose actual, potential or perceived conflicts. A person with a conflict must not improperly influence the decision, and must follow the applicable disclosure and recusal process.
Annual reporting
We publish annual or impact reports describing programs, people and communities served, results, partnerships, financial activity, lessons learned, governance and priorities. Every report states its reporting year and legal entity.

Safeguarding, privacy and program records
Safeguarding
The safety and dignity of children, youth and vulnerable participants are priorities. Relevant representatives complete required screening, training, supervision and conduct obligations. Concerns are handled through a designated process and may be reported to public authorities where required by law or safety.
Privacy and information protection
We collect only information reasonably required for a stated purpose, limit access to it, apply appropriate safeguards, and respect consent and lawful privacy rights. Children and young people receive additional protection. Declining to appear in photographs or stories never affects access to a general program.
Program monitoring
Programs keep attendance, distribution, volunteer, partner, feedback and follow-up records appropriate to the activity. Sensitive health and safeguarding information is kept separate from promotional and general reporting systems.
How we measure resultsDonation management
Donations are processed through approved systems and used in accordance with legal requirements, donor restrictions we have accepted, and charitable purposes. If a designated program is fully funded, changed, delayed or discontinued, we follow the approved Donation and Refund Policy and applicable law.
Raising a concern
Complaints and whistleblowing
Participants, families, volunteers, partners, donors and community members may raise concerns without retaliation for a good-faith report. Complaints are routed to the appropriate person rather than into one general inbox, so that service quality, accessibility, conduct, privacy, financial and safeguarding matters each reach someone able to act on them.
The contact form is not an emergency service. If a person is at immediate risk of harm, contact your local emergency number first.
