Legal structure
Firebird Holdings is a Minnesota limited liability company. It intends to convert to a public benefit corporation and then apply for B Lab certification.
Transparency
The standard and the numbers should be visible.
Firebird's model calls for publishing spending by category, identifying the Firebird entity involved, keeping corrections visible, and explaining what cannot be published and why.
PLANNED
This page describes the transparency system Firebird intends to build. The ledger is not live yet.
Funding today
Funding information will be expanded as Firebird's funding sources and public disclosures develop.
Where money goes
Spending will be published by category, beginning with the first dollar spent building a shelter.
Open questions
Firebird intends to explain material questions and changes openly without publishing private, unsafe, or client-identifying information.
Ledger
Funded in the open
The ledger will show land, design, construction, food, facilities, personnel, direct assistance, technology, and administration; totals by location and organization; the entity the money belongs to; visible corrections; and explanations for exclusions.
The ledger is not live yet. Verified figures will appear when Firebird begins publishing them.
