Every gift should have a second life
A trust-by-design framework for donor giving and charity stewardship. Quarterly scoring on gift recycling and mission delivery. Public tier badges. Privacy-by-design. The system charities trust because they help build it.
Four design principles
Show outcomes without exposing sensitive data. Donors see impact, not private details.
All recycled gifts remain voluntary. No debt, no pressure. Just the option to pay forward.
All public data is aggregated and anonymised. Your story, your choice to share.
Earn Karma rewards for transparency. No penalties — just recognition for openness.
Quarterly. Public. Auditable.
Organisations get scored quarterly
Every organisation using Elevate gets two scores: a Gift Recycling Score (how effectively recycled gifts cycle through to help the next person) and an Impact Score (how effectively the mission is delivered). The combined Trust Index reflects overall stewardship.
Scores are public
Anyone can see how organisations are performing. Tier badges signal stewardship: Regenerative (80–100, strong stewardship + verified impact), Verified (60–79, reliable transparency), Conditional (40–59, improvement needed), Dormant (<40).
Better scores attract more capital
Higher tiers get priority for matching campaigns, homepage features, Karma rewards, and access to larger recoverable grants and equipment funding.
Four tiers
| Tier | Score range | What it signals |
|---|---|---|
| Regenerative | 80–100 | Strong stewardship + verified impact + active recycling |
| Verified | 60–79 | Reliable partner with consistent transparency |
| Conditional | 40–59 | Improvement needed; on the platform but not yet verified at scale |
| Dormant | < 40 | Inactive or unverified — limited platform visibility until activated |
