Institutional roadmap

• Full legal corpus atomized against Dominican Law 122-05 and Regulation 40-08 (982 legal atoms, 0 errors).
• Bylaws (Estatutos Sociales) drafted — 77 articles across 13 titles, covering conflict of interest, related parties and dissolution.
• 18 institutional policies drafted: ethics, anti-fraud, AML/CFT, safeguarding, data protection, financial management and more.
• Founding Board designed with named functional ownership and a 3-year rotation principle — no lifetime seats.

A governance and compliance corpus most nonprofits build years after their first grant, ready before incorporation.

• ONAPI clearance for institutional use of the Terrae name.
• Domicile evidence and founders' legal identity reconciliation.
• Formal board office acceptance and final Dominican legal review.
• Filing with the Procuraduría General de la República (published timeline: ~60 business days).

Full legal personality — the gate that unlocks a bank account, an RNC and the ability to sign a grant directly.

• Working-draft MOU with Cafelium SRL for equipment loan and co-financed manufacturing, under our related-party transactions policy.
• Digital Terroir™ custody architecture finalized — producer-owned data from day one of the first cohort.
• Baseline data collection and informed consent under our safeguarding and data protection policies.
• Target communities identified beyond Cafelium SRL's existing pilot farms.

The first batch of verified data that belongs to the Foundation's own program, not to a technology partner's product pilot.

• Public MEL dashboard mapped to our Theory of Change and SDG indicators.
• First independently reviewed financial statements.
• Board expansion from 5 to 7 seats, prioritizing independent finance/audit and rural development expertise.

A track record a financial institution or bilateral agency can evaluate on its own terms.
