CARO built a published governance framework, a validated measurement instrument, a live civic platform, and a verified national network across 211 of Bangladesh’s 300 constituencies — entirely on volunteer labor and $0 in institutional funding. This is a request to fund the final stage of producing evidence that changes what governance reform looks like.
Scale the Fairness Index from 86 to 1,000+ verified respondents. Train 300 Equitism Leaders — one per constituency. Publish Bangladesh’s first Annual Governance Fairness Report. Every tier below maps to a real deliverable.
Bangladesh is at the exact inflection point CARO’s Fairness Index was built to document. In July 2024, 69% of citizens mandated constitutional reform through a historic popular charter. In February 2026, elections were held. By May 2026, the constitutional reform mandate is structurally blocked — the elected majority refusing to engage the reform process established to implement what citizens demanded. This is Legal Injustice in its most current form: democratic failure achieved through formally legal means. CARO’s infrastructure makes it visible, measurable, and impossible to dismiss.
86 verified Bangladeshi citizens measured their governance system in April 2026. Every domain — governance, justice, economy, public services, accountability — below 2.0. This is what structural unfairness looks like when citizens measure it. Not when experts score it from outside.
Full pilot results →CARO is deploying 300 Equitism Leaders — one trained structural fairness advocate in each of Bangladesh’s 300 parliamentary constituencies. 36 founding leaders are already deploying. Your contribution funds the training kits, observation logs, and coordination infrastructure to reach all 300.
The 7-stage Journey →CARO’s ground network already covers 211 of Bangladesh’s 300 parliamentary constituencies across all 8 divisions — 2,259 verified participants. This was built before a single institutional dollar. Your contribution funds the infrastructure to turn network coverage into national measurement.
Programs →Harvard Allen Lab, Stanford HAI, UPenn, Northwestern, and University of Michigan all engaged independently with CARO’s work in May 2026 — before any grant decision. Scholars at five major research universities recognizing the work before it is institutionally funded. Your contribution is the first chapter of that becoming reality.
Academic engagement → Full campaign page →No overhead to absorb your contribution. CARO has run on nonprofit technology grants, pro bono legal services, and volunteer labor for 30+ months. Your donation funds measurement, training, and publication — nothing else.

CARO (Care for Assets, Resources, and Obligations) is a Washington D.C.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a globally scalable, enforceable governance architecture based on structural fairness. Bangladesh is the proof-of-concept ground. Washington D.C. is the institutional base.
The Fairness Index — the world’s first citizen-administered, empirically governed measurement of structural governance fairness — produced its V1 pilot result in April 2026: OFI 1.74/5.0. Every governance domain below 2.0. The platform that delivered it is live. The civic leadership pipeline is active. The academic framework is published and independently engaged by scholars at five major research universities.
