Pledge to the Mission Fund

GRAJ is not accepting donations yet, so nothing is taken. A pledge records what you would give; you are asked before anything is ever collected, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Mission Fund

ADDING TO
THE FUND.

Being built

The Mission Fund is funded by a share of every GRAJ fee, automatically, without anyone being asked. Accepting outside money on top of that is not built — the reason is worth stating — but you can record a pledge today, with nothing taken.

What to know

It funds itself first

A share of every fee accrues to the fund at settlement. That is the primary mechanism and it works without anybody choosing to be generous, which is the point: access should not depend on charity arriving.

It is a balance, not a pledge

The fund is derived from real settlements and checked against the double-entry ledger before every deployment. If the accrued total and the ledger disagree by a cent, the deploy fails rather than the discrepancy being noted.

Why taking donations needs care

Accepting money for a stated purpose creates obligations about how it is held, reported and spent, and those differ by jurisdiction. Building the intake before the disbursement program exists would mean holding money with nothing to spend it on.

What a pledge is

A pledge records what you would give and what for. No card is asked for and nothing is charged; you can withdraw it at any time, and you are asked before anything is ever collected. Pledges are counted on their own and never added to the fund's balance, which is read from the ledger alone.

Status

Collection is not built, deliberately in this order. The fund accrues and is verifiable today; the disbursement program comes before the intake, because taking contributions for a program that does not exist is the wrong sequence. Pledges are live.

WHAT THE MISSION FUND IS.

A share of every GRAJ fee is set aside and tracked separately, to fund access for participants who could not otherwise participate.

REMOVING THE FIRST COST.

The costs that keep somebody out of commerce are small and they come before any revenue: a permit, a verification, a sample run, a first booth.

DOUBLE-ENTRY, CHECKED BEFORE DEPLOY.

Money on GRAJ moves through a double-entry ledger, and a set of invariants runs against it before anything ships.
