Policies and terms

This policy explains what personal data the Global Majority Resilience Fund (GMRF) collects through this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. GMRF is a fund hosted by Myriad USA, a U.S. public charity. Questions about your data can be sent to team@globalmajorityresiliencefund.org.

What we collect

• Contact form: your name, email address, country, the option you choose under “I am…” and your message. Your organization and preferred language are optional.
• Updates: your email address, if you subscribe in the footer or tick “Sign me up for updates”.
• Applications: once our first open call opens, the details you send with an application. The call will explain what is asked for and why.
• Your browser: the language you pick on this site is saved in your own browser, so your next visit opens in that language. It is never sent to us.

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels, and we never sell personal data.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry.
• To send you news on grants, open calls and what we learn, if you asked for it. Each email has an unsubscribe link.
• To assess applications and manage grants, which includes the due diligence that Myriad USA carries out on every grant.
• To report to our donors. Reports name grantee organizations and projects. Personal details of individuals are left out unless the person has agreed.

Who we share it with

Your data is seen by the GMRF team. It may also be shared with:

• Myriad USA, our fiscal sponsor, for donations, grant approval and compliance checks.
• Members of our Advisory Board, when they help review applications. They are bound by confidentiality.
• The service providers that host this website, our forms and our mailing list, only as far as they need it to run these services.
• Public authorities, where the law requires it.

Where it is stored and for how long

Our sponsor and some of our service providers are based in the United States, so your data may be stored there. Enquiries are kept for up to two years. Subscriber emails are kept until you unsubscribe. Grant and application records are kept for as long as U.S. law and Myriad USA require.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data we hold about you, to correct it or to have it deleted, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Write to team@globalmajorityresiliencefund.org in any language and we will reply within one month. Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU and UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act may give you further rights, including the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Donations to GMRF are received and processed by Myriad USA. The personal and payment details of donors are handled under the Myriad USA privacy policy.

GMRF is a fiscally sponsored fund of Myriad USA, a public charity under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (EIN 58-2277856).

• Funds hosted at Myriad USA are not separate legal entities. For this reason, donations are made payable to Myriad USA, with the Global Majority Resilience Fund named as their purpose.
• U.S. donors may claim the maximum tax benefit allowed by U.S. tax law. Myriad USA sends each donor a receipt.
• Every grant is reviewed by Myriad USA for consistency with U.S. tax law and with its charitable purposes. Myriad USA also carries out due diligence and compliance checks on every grantee.
• Our fees stay under 12%, and over 80% of our funding goes to local grantees and partners.

To give to GMRF, write to team@globalmajorityresiliencefund.org. Legal and financial information on Myriad USA is published at myriadusa.org.

These standards apply to the GMRF team, our Advisory Board and the organizations we fund.

Safeguarding

We do not tolerate sexual exploitation, abuse or harassment of anyone, including community members, staff and volunteers. Every grant agreement includes a duty to prevent harm and to report concerns.

Fraud and corruption

Bribes, kickbacks and the misuse of funds are not tolerated. Grantees and partners are screened before each grant. Suspected misuse can lead us to suspend or end a grant and to recover the funds.

Conflicts of interest

Team and Advisory Board members declare any personal or financial tie to an applicant and step out of every decision about that applicant.

Raise a concern

Anyone can raise a concern or complaint about GMRF, our team, our advisors or a grantee. Write to team@globalmajorityresiliencefund.org in any language, with “Concern” in the subject line. Reports are handled in confidence, and no one who raises a concern in good faith will be penalized. If your concern involves the GMRF team, you can also write to Myriad USA at info@myriadusa.org.
