Tier 1 fiduciary network
The local hands that actually hand out the money.
JIL Sovereign Technologies allocates the capital, but the platform itself never holds or wires charitable funds. Each country has its own registered charitable vehicle - a real, regulated foundation with its own board, its own bank, its own tax-exempt status - that disburses to grantees on the ground.
In plain English
What is this?
Global Hands, Inc. (US 501(c)(3), Texas-headquartered, EIN 92-1444754) is the operating charitable entity in all five operational jurisdictions: US, UAE, Singapore, Brazil, and Europe. Participating Fiduciaries are the local banks, custodians, and partner charitable organizations that execute Disbursements on behalf of foundations and Global Hands. Attestyx (the platform) is the technology and verification layer; the Fiduciaries hold the bank accounts and sign the checks.
How does it affect me?
If you donate to Global Hands, your contribution is received by a US 501(c)(3) and routed through Attestyx pre-clearance to verified-clean recipients in the appropriate jurisdiction; the actual Disbursement is executed through participating Fiduciaries (banks/custodians/partner charities). If you're a grantee, the entity sending you money is your foundation's chosen banking partner, executing on a release signal from Attestyx after Global Hands has cleared the recipient.
Does it help me?
This separation matters legally. JIL Sovereign Technologies (the Licensor) is a tech company - no banking license, no custody, no fiduciary exposure. Global Hands (the Operator) is the 501(c)(3) - holding donor relationships, filing Form 990, accountable to the IRS. Participating Fiduciaries are the regulated banks and custodians that execute payments. Each role at the layer it's supposed to be at.
