Governing Principles
Community Made is grounded in the belief that local stories build stronger neighborhoods. We are committed to uplifting the voices of East Oak Lane through respectful, inclusive, and collaborative practices. Our content is guided by values of equity, curiosity, and collective care — and we welcome all perspectives that contribute to a more connected community.
Our team is volunteer-driven and community-accountable. We follow clear standards in how we create, share, and manage our work, ensuring that decisions are made with integrity and shared purpose.
Transparency Policy
Transparency is a cornerstone of how we operate. We openly share financial reports, survey results, and project updates so that neighbors can understand how resources are used and how community input shapes what we do. We believe that openness builds trust — and we want you to see the impact of every dollar and idea.
We also take privacy seriously. Personal information and individual survey responses are never shared without permission. Any public-facing data is either aggregated or anonymized to protect the people behind the insights.
