Trust & Transparency
TRANSPARENCY BEFORE TRUST.
Before asking anyone to help build the first bridge, we believe they deserve to understand how it will be built.
This page outlines the structure, governance, financial controls, and documentation behind Proyecto Legacy.
Standing & Structure
THE FOUNDATIONS BENEATH THE FOUNDATION
Proyecto Legacy Inc. is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to closing the gap between treatment and lasting recovery by building the infrastructure people need after treatment ends.
Nonprofit status
Proyecto Legacy Inc. is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to closing the gap between treatment and lasting recovery — creating recovery infrastructure through housing, structure, accountability, employment readiness, and family restoration.
EIN: 33-1837501
Governance
Proyecto Legacy is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for strategic oversight, accountability, compliance, and long-term stewardship.
Major decisions are guided by governance policies, fiduciary responsibility, and the organization’s mission to serve individuals and families in recovery.
The Board provides oversight of financial management, organizational planning, regulatory compliance, risk management, and long-term sustainability to ensure resources are used responsibly and effectively.

All funds are held through dedicated nonprofit banking and accounting systems. Funds designated for the Foundation Site are tracked separately and deployed by project milestone — acquisition, development, furnishings, transportation, and operational readiness.
Financial reporting follows applicable nonprofit accounting and reporting requirements.

Donor questions
THE QUESTIONS WE EXPECT.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Proyecto Legacy Inc. is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity. Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors should consult their tax professional regarding individual circumstances.
What happens if the project doesn’t reach its goal?
Funds raised for the Foundation Site will continue to be used for property acquisition, development, startup operations, and related recovery infrastructure needed to advance the project.
Why housing instead of more treatment?
Treatment helps people get clean — the challenge begins after treatment ends. Many people leave without stable housing, structure, transportation, employment, accountability, or a clear plan forward. Proyecto Legacy exists to bridge that gap by creating a place where recovery can continue.
How will I know my gift made a difference?
Supporters receive updates tied to major project milestones — property acquisition, site development, renovations, program launch, and resident enrollment. Every contribution helps build something tangible: the first Foundation Site.
Confidence before commitment
TRUST IS EARNED
We’re committed to building this project with transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship every step of the way.
