Executive Thesis: Global philanthropy suffers from two fatal flaws: first, excessive institutional overhead that consumes 30%–60% of donor capital before it ever reaches a family in need; and second, ideological polarization that alienates half of the community. Good · Fair · Better (GFB) resolves both through a 100% Direct-to-Field Allocation Model governed under the non-partisan Charter of the Common Good Act.
