What is donatacy?

Donatacy is an economic system designed to:

  • Improve democracy and alignment
  • Decentralise power and improve equality
  • Incentivise truth and transparency, and
  • Bring more income, focus, skill, innovation and other resources to endeavours prioritising value for the common good

 

How it works:

  1. Incentive providers voluntarily create and fund exclusive offers at their own expense, aiming to encourage and motivate others to donate to the common good. By offering these incentives, they contribute to a larger effort to support non-profit organisations (NPOs) and charities focused on benefiting society as a whole.
  2. These incentives attract more donations. Incentives are awarded depending on the percentage of annual income donated, which means that the more someone donates, the more incentives they can access.
  3. The increasing amount of donations forms a market in which NPOs must prove their worth. Donors want assurance that their money is being used effectively and contributing to the common good. To secure donations, NPOs need to prioritise transparency and demonstrate that their value delivery aligns with the beliefs of the donors.
  4. Higher donations for NPOs lead to more resources and talent being available to deliver value for the common good.
  5. The successful delivery of value for the common good validates the incentive providers’ decision to offer incentives, strengthening the positive cycle, encouraging greater donations and support for the common good.

Example 1: A business incentivising donations with an exclusive offer

  • Step 1: A fitness centre decides to participate in the Donatacy system by providing an exclusive offer. They want to make a difference in society and encourage people to donate to non-profit organisations and charities. They believe that by offering an incentive for individuals who donate more than 5% of their income to charity, they can encourage charitable giving and help create a positive impact on society.
  • Step 2: The fitness centre decides to create a special membership plan with additional benefits for individuals who donate more than 5% of their income to charity. The plan includes exclusive access to fitness classes, free workshops, guest passes, priority booking for popular classes, and other additional benefits.
  • Step 3: People who are interested in the fitness centre’s exclusive offer learn about it through the centre’s marketing channels, including their website, social media, and email newsletters. They are motivated by the prospect of gaining access to additional benefits and are encouraged to donate more than 5% of their income to non-profit organisations and charities.
  • Step 4: Donators register their donations with a Donation Tracker like Proud To Give. The Donation Tracker calculates and verifies their Donation Percentage. People who reach a Donation Percentage of more than 5% become eligible for the fitness centre’s exclusive offer.
  • Step 5: Individuals who have donated more than 5% of their income to charity can share their Donation Tracker profile page with the fitness centre as proof of eligibility. The fitness centre grants access to the special membership plan with additional benefits to those who have donated more than 5% of their income to charity.
  • Step 6: The availability of the fitness centre’s exclusive offer encourages more people to donate a larger portion of their income to non-profit organizations and charities, thereby fostering a positive impact on society and perpetuating the virtuous cycle of the Donatacy system.

 

Example 2: A donor wanting to donate and gain access to an offer

  • Step 1: The donor learns about the Donatacy system and the exclusive offer provided by the fitness centre through the centre’s marketing channels.
  • Step 2: Motivated by the prospect of gaining access to the fitness centre’s special membership plan with additional benefits, the donor decides to donate more than 5% of their income to non-profit organizations and charities.
  • Step 3: The donor registers their donations and annual income with the Donation Tracker to calculate their Donation Percentage. They share their Donation Tracker profile page with the fitness centre as proof of eligibility.
  • Step 4: The fitness centre confirms the donor’s eligibility and grants them access to the special membership plan with additional benefits.
  • Step 5: The donor can now enjoy the exclusive benefits of the fitness centre’s special membership plan while knowing that their donation is contributing to the common good and helping to make a positive impact on society.

 

Example 3: An NPO wanting to receive more donations

  • Step 1: The NPO creates a strong mission statement and clear goals that align with the values of potential donors. They develop a clear strategy for how they will achieve their goals and what impact they will have on society.
  • Step 2: The NPO establishes a transparent and accountable system for tracking and reporting on how donations are being used. They ensure that their financial reports are easily accessible and clearly show how the funds are being utilised to achieve their mission.
  • Step 3: By demonstrating transparency, accountability, and impact, the NPO becomes a trusted and respected organization that donors want to support. They receive more donations which allows them to expand their programs and increase their impact on society.
