How the Guild keeps its money clean

Follow the records, the rules and the corrections. A question deserves a clear place to look.

• The Guild is a Washington unincorporated nonprofit association, not a 501(c)(3). Do not claim a charitable tax deduction for giving to the Guild. Giving
• Money received, fees and the four channels have public figures. Private giver details stay private. Transparency Hub
• Books keep their history. Mistakes are corrected with linked records. Quarterly ledgers and annual reporting belong to the Guild's public reporting commitments. Public records
• Bank files are matched against the books in Treasury. A recorded balance is not proof of cash coverage. Read the figures and their limits
• Treasury has tax reserve tools for amounts expected before payment is due. A reserve is an estimate, not tax already paid. The yearly rhythm and filings
• No contribution buys ownership or a binding vote. How decisions are made · The Living Book
• Published changes and resource standards can be checked. Change Log · Resource Standards
• Report a concern through the private reporting door. Security reports have their own page once its receiving mailbox is set. Report a concern · Contact the Guild

The Antiquity Guild is not my property. Its Treasury, Vault, and works belong to the mission alone.

My personal estate remains separate.

I may receive modest pay, but never ownership.

From the Founder's Declaration, quoted as written in the Living Book.

Refunds must return through the original payment method. Treasury records the operator's chosen review amounts and any required human review. An independent review is planned when the Guild can afford it; none is claimed here.

Representatives can share this page without arguing in comments. Corrections belong in the open, with their record. Legal steps are reserved for serious defamation, with a lawyer.
