Governance and transparency
We hold ourselves to the standards a funder or school district should expect: clear accountability, honest reporting and plain disclosure of any relationship that could raise a question.
Two organizations, disclosed plainly
Career Lab Live Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 39-3910687. Fundoria LLC is a Georgia limited liability company that builds and runs a K-6 financial literacy game platform. They are separate legal entities with separate finances. Patrick Arnold, Career Lab Live's founder and executive director, also leads Fundoria LLC, so the relationship between them is a related-party relationship.
The arrangement is meant to run in both directions: Fundoria's games licensed to Career Lab Live for use in our programs, and Career Lab Live's curriculum content licensed back to Fundoria for use in the games.
Neither license between the two organizations has been signed yet, and no fee has been set. Terms are to be set at market value and are governed by Career Lab Live's board of directors.
