The 10% Give-Back Commitment

Stated in full, with the exclusions spelled out.

The commitment

10% Give-Back Commitment: We commit 10% of successfully settled gross contributions to helping other people or eligible community projects. The 10% is calculated before payment-processing fees. Refunded, reversed, disputed, charged-back, fraudulent, or otherwise uncollected transactions are excluded. This project is not currently a charity, and contributions are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations.

How it is calculated

The 10% is taken from successfully settled gross contributions and calculated before payment-processing fees. Refunded, reversed, disputed, charged-back, fraudulent, or otherwise uncollected transactions are excluded from the base.

Who decides where it goes

Community voting may only apply to designated Give-Back Fund decisions or harmless campaign features. It must never control the creator's remaining 90%.

Reporting

Accrued and distributed amounts are published separately in the public financial figures so the difference between committed and delivered is always visible.
