Ashaki Giving Policy

Effective date: November 9, 2025

Our approach. Ashaki is operated by Kobita LLC, a for-profit business. Our giving initiatives support creatives, people in need, and community projects. We do not solicit or accept customer donations.

Personal support during business development. While Ashaki is reinvesting in the business, Fatema Akhund personally supports the same charities and causes described on this website. These contributions are made in her personal capacity, are separate from Ashaki’s finances, and are not represented as donations made by Ashaki.

Future giving by Ashaki. As Ashaki becomes profitable and funds become available after business reinvestment, Ashaki intends to transition to giving directly through its Gifting Program. The amount and timing of company-funded giving will be determined through the annual review described below, after business expenses, contractual profit-sharing obligations, and reasonable reinvestment needs have been addressed. Until that review establishes a company funding commitment, no fixed percentage of profits or amount from individual purchases is pledged.

Administration and annual review. Ashaki’s senior staff administer the Gifting Program. Following the close of each financial year, they will meet to review financial results, confirm that business expenses and contractual profit-sharing obligations have been satisfied, assess reasonable reinvestment needs and available funds, and determine the amount, recipients, and schedule of company distributions. Approved distributions will be made after that meeting in accordance with the established schedule. Ashaki will maintain records of funding decisions and payments. An internal allocation alone does not constitute completed giving.

Recipients. Support may be provided to charitable organizations, individuals, or community projects consistent with the program’s purposes. Not every recipient will be a tax-exempt charity. Ashaki determines the recipients of company-funded giving; purchases do not entitle customers to select a recipient.

Separate accounting. Personal contributions by Fatema Akhund or other individuals remain separate from company contributions and do not satisfy any giving commitment made by Ashaki. Personal and company contributions will be identified separately and will not be counted twice.

Customer purchases. Purchases from Ashaki are payments for products, not charitable donations, and do not become tax-deductible charitable contributions because of these giving activities.

Policy updates. Ashaki may update this policy as the business and program develop. Changes will apply prospectively and will not reduce amounts previously committed by Ashaki.
