Nanik Tagore's compensation is capped at $120,000/year. This cap is reviewed annually and disclosed publicly. Any surplus beyond the cap is redirected to the mission — not retained.

The cap exists to maintain trust, prevent extraction, and protect independence.

Withdraw uses modern tools to keep overhead low. These tools are used to reduce costs and redirect economic opportunity to makers — not to surveil, manipulate, or extract from members.

Current tools:

• GitHub (code and version control)
• Claude (AI — used for copy, planning, and operational support)
• Stripe (payment processing)
• Netlify (website hosting)

No analytics tools are in use at launch. No email capture. If either is added in the future, it will be disclosed here first.

Withdraw publishes a quarterly financial snapshot and an annual recap. These show how membership fees were allocated: how much went to makers, how much to the impact fund, how much to operations, and what the founder was paid.

[Financial reports will be linked here as they become available.]

$25 of every membership is directed to an issue-based impact fund focused on working-class economic concerns. This fund is not tied to any political candidate or PAC.

How the fund is deployed, and to what causes, will be disclosed in quarterly financial reports as the fund becomes active.

A product is removed if the maker inflates prices to exploit members, if production relies on large-scale factories replicating corporate concentration, or if it does not clearly replace a corporate default purchase.

A maker is removed if they operate mass-production facilities, function as a brand front for corporate manufacturing, or cannot clearly explain who makes the product and how.
