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?
The five legal entities that actually move charitable money. We are the technology and verification layer; they are the regulated charities holding the bank accounts and signing the checks. One per country: US, Switzerland, UAE, Singapore, Brazil.
How does it affect me?
If you donate, your contribution flows through one of these locally-registered charities, not through JIL Sovereign Technologies. If you're a grantee, the entity sending you money is a real foundation in your region with a board, an audit, and tax-exempt status - not a software company.
Does it help me?
This separation matters legally. JIL Sovereign Technologies is a tech company - we don't need a banking license, we don't custody funds, and we have no fiduciary exposure. The participating fiduciaries are foundations - they have full regulatory standing in their jurisdictions, deduct donor contributions, and operate under their boards. Each role at the layer it's supposed to be at.

Eligibility to act as a Tier 1 fiduciary
A foundation is eligible to act as a Tier 1 fiduciary if it meets all foundation Tier 2 criteria plus:
- Holds the specific charitable status required by the jurisdiction (501(c)(3) for US, equivalent abroad)
- Has banking relationships sufficient to disburse at the volume of allocated capital
- Demonstrates programmatic capacity through prior grant-making track record
- Accepts the platform's verification, attestation, and reporting obligations
- Is approved by JIL and the advisory council
- Executes the Tier 1 fiduciary agreement
JIL may designate a single fiduciary per jurisdiction during the platform's first 36 months. After that period, multiple fiduciaries may be approved per jurisdiction at advisory council discretion.
