Openness is at the heart of everything we do. At DemocracyFirst, we believe that transparency, trust, and shared responsibility are the foundation of real progress.
Values & Transparency
At DemocracyFirst, we believe that trust begins with openness. We want people to see how we work, what we stand for, and how we use the resources entrusted to us.
Our core values form the foundation of everything we do:
1. Transparency
We are transparent about our work, finances, and decision-making processes. All foundation activities and expenses are available for public review, and we communicate clearly about our plans, projects, and results.
2. Independence
DemocracyFirst is entirely independent from political, religious, or commercial organizations. We do not take sides — our only direction is cooperation and shared decision-making.
3. Responsibility
Every contribution — whether time, money, or knowledge — is managed with care and used exclusively to empower people to make decisions together. We uphold the highest standards of integrity and social accountability.
4. Equality
Everyone is welcome. DemocracyFirst promotes equal access to information, participation, and influence — regardless of origin, education, or status. Every voice counts, and every action matters.
5. Trust & Privacy
We safeguard the privacy of everyone who works with us or uses our platforms. Our approach fully complies with GDPR and reflects our values of respect, safety, and mutual trust.
6. Open Collaboration
We believe real progress comes through cooperation. That’s why we work openly, share knowledge, and invite everyone to contribute ideas, improvements, and initiatives.
In short:
Transparency isn’t just a requirement for us — it’s a choice. A choice for trust, fairness, and collaboration.
