5. Role of Community Participation

Community members may help shape outcomes by:

• participating in time-limited selection rounds; or

• contributing feedback to improve future programs.

Community input informs decisions but does not replace the Foundation’s responsibility to exercise charitable discretion.

6. Transparency & Trust

The Foundation prioritizes transparency while respecting privacy:

• aggregate funding activity may be publicly reported;

• blockchain transactions may be auditable;

• personal recipient details are kept confidential.

The Foundation does not sell recipient data or allow donors to control individual payouts.

7. Speed vs. Safety

The program is designed to balance:

• speed — getting help to people when they need it; and

• safety — protecting donors and the community from abuse.

Verification requirements may vary depending on:

• payout size;

• urgency;

• prior participation; or

• risk signals.
