Contribution totals
Only successful, non-refunded payments should count toward the public total.
I’m choosing to keep my identity private, so the financial side has to be especially clear. The aim is simple: every important number should be explainable.
Each supporter pays exactly £1 through Stripe. The tracker shows the gross value of verified, non-refunded £1 payments. Stripe and other unavoidable operating costs are deducted before money is available for the published allocation targets.
A supporter makes one fixed £1 contribution through Stripe.
The successful £1 payment adds one to the public contribution counter.
Processing fees, refunds, disputes and unavoidable operating costs affect net funds available.
The £500,000 First Mission refers to intended allocations from net available funds, with evidence published as funds are used.
Nothing below should be represented as completed until the relevant event has actually happened.
Only successful, non-refunded payments should count toward the public total.
Material withdrawals or allocations should be logged with a date, purpose and supporting evidence where reasonable.
When charitable donations are made, publish the charity name, date, amount and receipt with private details redacted.
£360,000 of the First Mission is planned for charity, humanitarian work, scholarship or other giving-back goals. The figures are allocation targets from net available funds after processing/refund/operating costs. Specific recipient organisations will be published before transfers are made where they have not already been named. The project as a whole is personal crowdfunding / a social experiment and is not a registered charity.
This area is intentionally empty in the pre-launch version. Real entries should only appear after verified activity occurs.
