Disclaimer / Legal Information

The Warner Foundation is a private, (almost completely) founder-funded charitable organization established to support charitable and educational initiatives through thoughtful and sustainable giving.All grants, programs, and activities are determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Foundation’s mission, policies, and the guidance of the Founder. Participation as a board member or grant applicant is entirely voluntary, and any personal information submitted through this site will be kept confidential and used solely for purposes related to the Foundation’s operations, governance, and grantmaking activities.The Foundation is designed to operate with a long-term growth strategy, with annual spending capped at a annual percentage of its assets to ensure sustainability and continued support of charitable initiatives over time. All activities and decisions of the Foundation are conducted in compliance with its bylaws and applicable laws. The assets of the Foundation are dedicated to charitable and educational purposes and may not be used for personal gain beyond legally authorized compensation or fees for services performed on behalf of the Foundation, consistent with applicable law.Board members serve in an advisory and oversight capacity, offering guidance, perspective, and accountability to support the Foundation’s mission and operations. Their insights, recommendations, and experience are highly valued and help shape the Foundation’s work, but the ultimate responsibility for decisions regarding grants, financial matters, operational policies, and strategic direction rests with the Founder. Directors are expected to participate in meetings as able, adhere to the Foundation’s policies, and act in a manner consistent with the charitable purpose of the Foundation, understanding that their service is voluntary and primarily focused on governance, guidance, and support rather than direct management. The Founder of the Warner Foundation retains final authority over all decisions relating to the direction, management, operations, and funding priorities of the Foundation. This includes the authority to approve or deny grants, allocate resources, establish spending policies, determine the scope of programs or activities carried out under the Foundation’s mission, and manage any legally authorized compensation or payments for services rendered to the Foundation. Board input and recommendations are welcomed and valued as an essential part of the Foundation’s collaborative approach, but ultimate decision-making responsibility rests with the Founder.This website is provided for informational purposes only and does not create any binding obligations on the part of the Foundation.
