This page brings the important information into one place: what Community Capital Network is, how its 2=1 Program works, who is responsible, how money will be protected, and what still has to be finished before giving begins.
Pre-launch safeguards are being completed

Policy library
Open only what you want to review.
Financial Controls Policy +
Organizational funds must remain in dedicated accounts. No person may control application review, award approval, payment release, reconciliation, and reporting alone.
- Board-approved authorized signers and spending limits
- Two approvals for material payments and awards
- Monthly bank reconciliation by someone who did not initiate payments
- Receipts, invoices, approval records, and restricted-fund tracking
- No personal-account deposits or undocumented cash withdrawals
Exact dollar thresholds and authorized names will be published before live fundraising.
Administrative Expenses & Reserve Policy +
Operating costs, fundraising costs, payment fees, direct community support, and reserves will be reported separately. The board will approve and publish an annual operating budget, reserve target, and material changes.
- No claim that 100% goes to recipients unless verified
- Funding-cycle totals and maximum award sizes published in advance
- Reserve use requires documented approval and public explanation
- Administrative percentage reported monthly and year to date
Conflict of Interest & Related-Party Policy +
Board and committee members must disclose personal, family, business, employment, and financial interests. A conflicted person must leave the discussion and vote. The minutes record the disclosure, recusal, and decision. Related-party transactions require independent review, fair terms, and documented approval.
Whistleblower & Complaint Policy +
Good-faith concerns about fraud, retaliation, discrimination, conflicts, privacy, safety, or misuse of funds may be reported to support@21ccn.org or by mail. Complaints should be logged, reviewed outside the subject’s control, and retained with the resolution. Retaliation for a good-faith report is prohibited.
Gift Acceptance, Refund & Recurring-Gift Policy +
2=1 may decline gifts that are unlawful, excessively restricted, burdensome, or inconsistent with its mission. Completed contributions are generally final. Verified duplicate charges, unauthorized transactions, or processing errors may be corrected under the Terms and payment-processor rules. Recurring supporters may cancel future charges before the next processing date.
Records, Privacy & Data Security Policy +
Financial, governance, award, donor, and application records will be retained for appropriate operational, accounting, tax, dispute, and legal periods. Public reports use aggregate information and protect donor payment data, home addresses, medical details, and confidential application records.
Community Access Policy +
Community support is funded by donors, but it is not reserved only for donors. When an application cycle opens, anyone in the community we serve may apply if they meet the published requirements.
- You do not have to donate to ask for help.
- Donors may apply, but giving does not move anyone ahead of another applicant.
- A contribution never guarantees an award or creates a right to receive money later.
- Requests are reviewed using the same written eligibility rules, evidence of need, community impact standards, and conflict checks.
- Approvals depend on available funds and an independent committee decision.
People should give because they believe in neighbors helping neighbors—not because they expect their money back. Donors and non-donors will be treated with the same dignity and fairness.
Nondiscrimination & Applicant Fairness +
Comparable applicants must receive the same published criteria, documentation expectations, scorecard, and conflict review. Decisions may consider program eligibility and mission-related priorities but may not be based on unlawful discrimination. Applicants receive written notice and may request reconsideration for a factual or procedural error.
Misuse of Funds & Recovery Policy +
Recipients must sign an award agreement describing permitted uses, documentation, reporting, and return obligations. Payments may be made directly to vendors when practical. Unspent, unsupported, or misused funds may be suspended, recovered, or referred for appropriate action.
