Policies & Disclosures

Transparency, responsible stewardship, and accountability are central to how we intend to operate.

Website Terms of Use

How visitors may use GroTruth's website and educational materials.

By using this website, you agree to use it lawfully and not interfere with its operation, security, or other visitors' access. Content is provided for general informational and educational purposes and may change without notice.

GroTruth does not guarantee that all information is complete, current, or free of error. References to research, projects, collaborators, or proposed programs do not constitute a promise of funding, acceptance, participation, or outcomes.

Unless otherwise indicated, original website text, branding and graphics are owned by GroTruth or used with permission. You may link to public pages and quote brief portions with attribution, but may not imply endorsement or reproduce protected materials beyond applicable permissions.

Third-party links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. To the extent permitted by law, GroTruth disclaims warranties regarding website availability and content and is not responsible for losses arising from use of external websites.

These terms do not waive rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived. Applicable law and jurisdiction are subject to mandatory consumer and other legal protections.

Research & Health Disclaimer

Important distinctions between emerging research, investigational therapies, and medical advice.

GroTruth may describe emerging research, potential diagnostic approaches, botanical science, clinical development pathways, and public-benefit projects. Such content is educational and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, legal advice, or a solicitation to join a clinical trial.

Discussion of ibogaine or other investigational substances does not mean that a product or treatment is FDA-approved, safe, effective, or legally available for general use. Research plans and partnerships may be exploratory and subject to scientific, institutional, ethical, regulatory, and funding approvals.

Do not use website information to start, stop, or change treatment. Consult appropriately qualified licensed professionals for personal medical decisions. GroTruth's general website does not accept clinical intake or sensitive patient records. Any future research participation process will be separately documented through qualified parties and applicable approvals.

We aim to distinguish established findings, preliminary evidence, uncertainty, and organizational intentions.

Donations & Funding

How contributions are handled, funding intentions, and tax-status disclosures.

GroTruth Institute is a Texas nonprofit corporation developing public-benefit initiatives in research, education, responsible innovation, and related fields. State nonprofit incorporation does not by itself establish federal tax-exempt status.

Federal tax status: GroTruth Institute has not yet submitted Form 1023, and the IRS has not recognized it as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3). GroTruth does not represent contributions as tax-deductible. GroTruth is committed to due diligence, and filing the full Form 1023, and that takes time. Donors should consult their tax advisers.

Donations may support organizational capacity, due diligence, evaluation, grantmaking, collaboration, and other activities consistent with GroTruth's charitable purposes and applicable restrictions. Where a donation is solicited for a particular fund or purpose, the applicable donation-page terms will describe its intended use and any conditions or restrictions.

GroTruth intends to use documented evaluation, financial oversight, and reporting practices. No specific project, research result, grant award, or measurable impact is guaranteed. Donations are not purchases of services, equity, investment interests, or promised financial returns.

Refund requests: Contact info@grotruth.org promptly with the transaction details. Requests will be reviewed case by case, considering payment-provider procedures, donor restrictions, and applicable law. Do not promise refunds unless the donation processor and organization can honor them.

Public reporting will reflect available, verified information and applicable disclosure requirements. We will not publish donor names without consent unless required by law.

Accessibility

Our commitment to making information accessible and responding to accessibility concerns.

GroTruth seeks to make its website usable by a broad audience, including people with disabilities. We aim to improve readability, navigation, image descriptions, keyboard access, and compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies as the website develops.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and some pages or third-party features may not work equally well for every visitor. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in an alternative format, contact info@grotruth.org with the page and issue. We will review the request and respond as reasonably possible.

Transparency & Accountability

Our intended approach to evaluation, governance, oversight, and public reporting.

GroTruth exists to advance public-benefit opportunities rather than the commercial interests of any single organization or company. We are developing a disciplined approach to evaluate potential projects based on public need, available evidence, feasibility, qualified expertise, anticipated benefit relative to resources, and financial accountability.

We intend to communicate what is known, what remains uncertain, why projects are selected, how resources are intended to be used, and what progress can be responsibly reported.

Governance and oversight practices will evolve as the organization establishes its board, policies, funding arrangements, and operations. Financial reports, organizational filings, conflict-of-interest practices, and project updates will be shared as appropriate and when available. We will distinguish adopted policies and completed activities from plans still in development.

Potential conflicts involving directors, staff, donors, vendors, or project partners should be identified and addressed through applicable governance procedures. Funding does not purchase favorable scientific findings or guaranteed project selection.

Contact & Submissions

How to submit inquiries and what information should not be sent through website forms.

Messages submitted through website forms or email are treated as inquiries, not confidential research submissions or binding partnership proposals. Do not submit proprietary inventions, unpublished research data, medical records, genetic information, or other sensitive materials without first arranging appropriate written confidentiality and data-handling terms.

Submitting an idea or inquiry does not create a fiduciary, advisory, employment, grantmaking, or contractual relationship, and does not guarantee review, funding, or response. We may contact you using the details you provide to discuss your inquiry.
