Core Value: Transparency

Core Value: Transparency

Transparency is defined as “the condition of being transparent.” For an organization to be transparent, it must be prepared to provide information at a time and in a manner that will be useful to its community. This process is challenging for any organization, no matter the size. It is particularly challenging when applied in an organization which conducts philanthropic projects on a global scale.

At eMite transparency is a core value. Our ability to be transparent is directly connected to our mission, vision, and operations as a charity. Here are a few ways we are open to our community of givers:

1. Transparency in Projects: Through continual project updates and insights, eMite presents a transparent project process to our donors. We keep our donors informed every step of the way. Our donors are aware of how their donations are being used and how they are making an impact.

2. Transparency in the Numbers: eMite, to the best of our ability, provides our community clarity in our numbers, from operations, donations, and program execution. We give our donors insight into how and what we do through end-of-year reports, project media, and organizational communications. As we grow, we will endeavor to continue our practice of transparency at all levels.

3. Transparency Through Collection of Data: Our performance as a charity is valuable to us, and we know it is important to our givers. We work hard to use all the available avenues, including surveys, reports, and process analyses, to ensure that eMite is accomplishing its goal of creating a ministry to givers. It is important to note that none of our donor or partner data is used or shared without consent.

As eMite continues to grow and expands its impact around the world, we will strive to become more transparent as an organization. We know this is important to you and vital in accomplishing our mission.
