Transparency

Our Commitment to Openness

From day one, The StoryForge Initiative has promised to operate with complete transparency.
Every dollar that comes in — and every dollar that goes out — is logged and publicly viewable here.

We believe that trust is earned through honesty.
This live financial ledger shows exactly how funds are being used to help authors, with full breakdowns of:

• Donations and community contributions
• Founder contributions and recurring funding
• ISBN purchases and distribution costs
• Hosting, web services, and outreach expenses

All data is updated automatically through our live Google Sheet below.

Live Financial Ledger

What This Page Represents

This ledger is part of our promise to remain fully accountable to the indie author community.

In the future, this page will expand to include:

• Monthly summaries with key highlights.
• Grant and sponsorship reports showing recipients and outcomes.
• ISBN allocation logs documenting each distribution batch.

All financial activity — from personal founder contributions to external donations and webstore proceeds — will continue to be tracked here in one place for full visibility.
