Grace is a secure fundraising platform built on the Ethereum blockchain, with a unique reward mechanism to organically incentivize charity campaign advocates.
The current state of charity fundraising is broken. Regardless of scale, most charities suffer from numerous problems such as fraud, corruption, difficulties in talent retention, and tacit social stigma in resource allocation. The purpose of Grace is to provide a decentralized solution to some of the most pressing inefficiencies.

How Grace Works
Core ConceptsMitigation of Fraud and CorruptionAll donations on Grace are securely recorded on the blockchain, which are immutable and open to everyone to audit. This reduces the risks of fraud and corruption, and ensures that the much-needed donations go directly to the right hands.
Advocate Incentive MechanismWith its Advocate Incentive Mechanism, Grace leverages the power of passionate individuals and economic incentives to deliver the greatest possible social impact. The interest of the Advocates is aligned with the interest of social good.
Utilizing social marketing this way, the promotional efforts of charities can scale limitlessly, without incurring marketing costs up front.
Freeing Up Resources for Charities, Improving Operating EfficiencyGrace allows organizations to delegate promotional work to incentivized Advocates. This frees up time and funds otherwise allocated to recruiting and training marketing talents, so that the charities can focus their limited resources on other important areas.
Financially Sustainable Efforts for ContributorsAround the world, we have observed a steady decline in volunteering rate as well as the number of hours of volunteer work done. For many people who are passionate about contributing, time is often a limiting constraint and there is only so much sacrifice one can make before having to succumb to the unforgiving reality of daily affairs and commitments.
Grace tackles this long-standing problem by establishing a stream of income for Advocates to continue their charitable work in a financially sustainable way. In some cases, Advocates may earn enough from Grace rewards to justify doing good full-time. A truly profound outcome.
