Record Exclusions
Our reporting starts from 2009 and excludes grants related to our US programs and grants that if published could harm our employees, grantees, partners, or the beneficiaries of our work. Specifically, we will consider exemptions based on the following criteria: • Security and safety: poses a risk to the security or safety of any individual, including foundation staff, contractors and beneficiaries. • Personal information: intrudes on personal privacy or breaches confidentiality. • Legally privileged and commercially sensitive information: violates legal commitments, such as non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality agreements, or would result in substantial harm to our grantees, partners or suppliers’ commercial interests. • Timing of publication: upsets a dynamic process in ways that pose substantial risk to achieving the outcomes sought by our grantees and partners. • Premature documents: document is too early in development to publish.
Thresholds
None, though this may be subject to change as we expand the scope of our reporting.
