For this reason, we publish clear and accessible information about our donors, grant agreements, and budget allocations. Each NED-funded project (2016–2025) is shown not only as a timeline of secured amounts but also as a breakdown of how funds were distributed—covering salaries, space, travel, contractual costs, and direct support for activities.

CZO • Financial Transparency
Why Transparency Matters at CZO
Transparency is a core value that underpins our independence and the trust we build with students, universities, and partners. We show not just how much we receive—but how we allocate it to advance student democracy and the rule of law.
Accountability Trust Learning
By publishing donor, grant, and budget information in clear formats (timeline totals alongside Attachment-B breakdowns), we enable verification, strengthen credibility, and help others learn from our approach.
Accountability: Stakeholders can confirm funds are used as agreed and aligned to program goals.
Trust-building: Open reporting reassures beneficiaries, universities, and donors of our integrity.
Learning: Comparing allocations across grants helps improve efficiency and impact over time.
This context applies to the 2016–2025 NED grants and complements the financing timeline & category breakdown shown on this page.
