Framework document

This page presents the institutional structure of the Donor Transparency Statement of Exodus & Resilience. Its definitive content will be published when the platform’s first operating cycle is activated, according to the phased governance model.

Until then, this page remains accessible for institutional transparency purposes and does not represent an approved, signed or definitive document for external public use.

If you need a definitive, signed and dated version for institutional due diligence, you may request it at contact@exodusandresilience.org.

Public commitment and operational reference

Exodus & Resilience understands transparency as a condition of trust between the platform, donors, fiscal partners, cultural institutions and participating communities.

This page defines principles for traceability, fund acceptance, responsible use of resources, fiscal communication, public recognition and institutional reporting during the founding phase.

No information included on this page constitutes tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Each donor should consult their own advisors before making a contribution or claiming any tax benefit.

Principles

Transparency principles

Traceability. Each contribution should be linked to an identifiable program, fiscal channel or institutional agreement.
Truthfulness. The platform does not communicate any funding, partnership or result as confirmed while it remains under evaluation.
Separation of funds. Reception mechanisms should distinguish between territorial programs and channeling entities.
Proportionate use. Resources should be used consistently with the purpose communicated to the donor or partner.
Responsible reporting. Results are reported when verifiable data exists, not as anticipated promises.
Independence. No contribution may condition the curatorial, educational, ethical or methodological integrity of the platform.

Support channels

Program-based fiscal channels

Exodus & Resilience works with a differentiated support architecture because each territorial program may operate through host entities, fiscal sponsors, local partners or future local mechanisms depending on the territory.

New York program

Donations designated for the Exodus & Resilience New York program are channeled exclusively through the Venezuelan American Endowment for the Arts (VAEA), an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) organization.

Contributions from U.S. tax-resident donors may be tax-deductible under the terms established by applicable law and by the documentation issued by VAEA.

Barcelona, Caracas and Acarigua programs

Donations designated for the Barcelona, Caracas and Acarigua programs are channeled through the fiscal sponsorship agreement signed with Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) organization, effective since June 2025.

For U.S. tax-resident donors, contributions channeled through Fractured Atlas may be tax-deductible under the terms established by law and by the fiscal sponsor.

Donors outside the United States

For donors in jurisdictions outside the United States, contributions channeled through U.S. 501(c)(3) entities may not generate a local tax deduction.

In these cases, the contribution may function as philanthropic, corporate, reputational or institutional support, but it should not be presented as a tax benefit outside the United States unless expressly confirmed by specialized advisors.

Future local mechanisms

For European or local donors who prefer to articulate support directly with accredited entities in each territory, an alternative mechanism will be documented when a formal applicable agreement exists.

No local mechanism should be publicly communicated as active before it has been formalized, validated and published.

Fund acceptance

Acceptance and refusal criteria

Exodus & Resilience does not accept funds whose origin, conditions or effects are incompatible with its mission, Code of Ethics, safeguarding policy, curatorial independence or the dignity of participating communities.

Contributions conditioned on modifying curatorial, educational or testimonial content are not accepted.
Contributions that seek to instrumentalize migrant communities for political, commercial or reputational purposes unrelated to the mission are not accepted.
Contributions that require the publication of unverified impact figures are not accepted.
Contributions that compromise the privacy, safety or dignity of participants are not accepted.
Contributions whose origin may generate serious reputational risk or manifest ethical contradiction are not accepted.

See Code of Ethics (framework page)

Use of funds

Expected areas of resource use

Contributions may be allocated, depending on the program, agreement and applicable budget, to activities consistent with the platform’s mission.

Curatorial research, documentation and conceptual development.
Fees for artists, mediators, trainers, researchers and technical teams.
Production of exhibitions, workshops, publications, educational programs and community activities.
Acquisition, custody, transport, documentation and conservation of artworks when applicable to the program.
Impact design, measurement, evaluation and reporting.
Administrative, legal, fiscal, technological and operational costs necessary for responsible execution.
Institutional communication, accessibility, digital archive and public materials.

The specific distribution of each budget should be documented in the corresponding proposal, agreement, grant application, approved budget or report.

Limits

What should not be promised

The platform avoids promises that cannot be verified or that depend on external factors not yet formalized.

No figures for beneficiaries, attendance or impact are promised before activities are executed and measured.
No tax deduction outside the United States is promised without specific legal or tax confirmation.
No public visibility is promised to donors when it may compromise the ethics, independence or privacy of a program.
No funding application is presented as approved funding.
No framework page is presented as a definitive, signed or fully approved document.
No institutional partner is attributed a role different from the one formally agreed.

See impact indicators (framework page)

Recognition

Public recognition of donors and partners

Public recognition of donors, companies, foundations or institutions should be agreed in advance, proportionate and consistent with the nature of each support.

Recognition may include institutional mention, public thanks, presence in reports or inclusion in program materials when appropriate.
Use of donor or partner logos requires express authorization and must respect their brand guidelines.
Use of cultural or museum partner logos also requires formal authorization from each entity.
Recognition does not grant curatorial, editorial, pedagogical or methodological control.
The platform may decline public recognition where there is ethical, reputational or safety risk.

Fundación Museo de Arte Acarigua-Araure should be mentioned in text only while no formal authorization for graphic brand use exists.

Reporting

Information to be reported

Institutional reports will be published when sufficient activities, data and documentation exist. The platform will always distinguish between founding capacities, executed activities, measured results and qualitative learning.

General use of resources by program or work line.
Activities carried out, dates, territories and partners involved.
Indicators of participation, attendance, mediation hours or training hours when verified.
Qualitative results, authorized testimonies and documented learning.
Limitations, incidents, methodological adjustments and next steps.
Credits and acknowledgments agreed with donors and partners.

Privacy

Donor data and communications

Personal donor data will not be published without authorization.
Sensitive information will not be shared with third parties beyond the channels necessary to manage the support.
Public communications must respect privacy, consent and confidentiality agreements where applicable.
Fiscal or administrative data will be managed according to the mechanisms of each channeling entity.

Due diligence

Confirmation of applicable fiscal channels by program.
Information on the status of formalized partnerships.
Budgets, proposals or reports when approved versions are available for sharing.
Clarification on intended use of funds and traceability criteria.
Status of governance, ethics, safeguarding and reporting documents.
