Public Goods Fund

Common Ground Budget

Coordinate around goods that many people value for different reasons. Contributions count only after the relevant identity, threshold, review, challenge, authorization, evidence, and settlement rules pass.

How participation works

1. Choose route
Use Every.org, a sponsor-backed route when active, or a non-custodial pledge intent.
2. Wait for import
Redirects remain pending until provider webhooks or reviewed evidence arrive.
3. Review before counting
The fund counts a contribution only after the relevant evidence state is reviewed.
Payment route
Direct-to-charity payment, pledge intent, and reviewed external evidence only

How it works

One budget, explicit stances, gate-cleared funding.

The default path is intentionally bounded. Advanced mechanism details remain inspectable, but they do not become binding unless the review screen presents them and the participant accepts the frozen snapshot.

01

Choose a maximum budget

Set the most you are willing to contribute and define fallback treatment before any external payment handoff is opened.

02

State project preferences

Use plain stances: fund, fund if different-view support joins, needs review, or skip.

03

Review the frozen terms

Inspect caps, thresholds, fees, privacy, destination evidence, challenge windows, and non-completion rules.

04

Clear only after gates pass

Threshold, identity, review, challenge, destination, external-payment, and evidence checks must pass before a contribution counts.

Assurance funding

Estimate the funding beyond your own pledge.

Enter a possible pledge and your own estimate of the chance it would be decisive. The receipt shows the expected funding from everyone else per proposed pledge dollar in a simplified exact-fill scenario.

Scenario pool target: $1,000

Decisive means the pool would clear with this pledge and would not clear without it.

Expected other funding per $1 pledged

$1.80

from other valid pledges per $1 of your proposed net pledge

Pool funding if decisive

$1,000

$900 from other valid pledges + your proposed $100

$180 expected from other valid pledges.

Your 20% estimate × ($1,000 target − $100 proposed net pledge). This excludes your proposed $100 net pledge.

Funding estimate, not an impact guarantee.

Exact-fill educational scenario. You supplied the decisive-chance estimate. This does not use live round progress, predict whether you are decisive, create or change a pledge, or count a failure-participation bonus as pool funding.

Operating boundaries

What participants can rely on.

  • A preview is not a contribution, charge, match, payout, or certificate.
  • Moral Trade does not hold participant funds or provide legal escrow.
  • Project support requires an active fiscal sponsor or another legally approved external recipient.
  • External payment evidence shows that a transaction occurred; it does not by itself prove why it occurred.
  • Projects do not clear while threshold, review, challenge, destination, authorization, or settlement blockers remain.
  • Public progress may remain sealed before close to reduce strategic manipulation and privacy leakage.
