SlackTRANSPARENT DONATION FLOW WITH ETHEREUM
Giveth is a completely free and open source platform, that will enable people to build communities around causes. Our Donation Application (Dapp) empowers Givers and Makers to work together toward achieving a common goal. Campaigns raising funds with Giveth can be trusted because of a mix of blockchain based transparency and social accountability. Causes that will make the world a better a place will run on the Ethereum blockchain to enable high level security and transparent accounting, so you can donate to your favorite cause, know **exactly** where your donation went, what it **accomplished** and most important: Know the **details** of the whole process!
Creating Altruistic Communities
"Anyone can create a cause on anything they feel strongly about supporting.
Whether it is solar energy to impoverished area, or organizing a recycling campaign, they can use the Giveth platform
to find other people that share their excitement. Giveth encourage organized efforts
and shared resources to tackle global and local problems together. The main goal is to cultivate connections
that build strong communities upon a solid foundation of transparency and accountabilitypowered by blockchain tech."
Connecting and Rewarding
"Every donation is an opportunity to build a connection between like minded individuals, all those who are making it happen. Giveth uses smart contracts on the E T H E R E U M blockchain to create a transparent donation flow that keeps Givers in control of their contributions until it is locked in to be used for a specific purpose and once paid out the details of what their donation did is permanently recorded on the blockchain. These smart contracts also allow 'Givers' to trust that their donations will be spent effectively as 'Makers' are rewarded on a milestone basis."
Transparent Innovation
"Giveth will revolutionize donation giving by fusing smart contract governance systems, and peer to peer community building on social media platforms. It can be used by NGOs to automate accounting, collect and distribute donated funds, provide oversight to projects on a global scale, minimizing intermediaries across the board. The Dapp is designed to be modular and flexible to allow for permissionless innovation. With Giveth, unique solutions can be implemented to address common problems, like building incentive structures for independent reviewers to verify the completion of milestones, or Rewarding Volunteers with tokens, badges or even ether to keep them engaged with the Cause and the Community."

Minime
The MiniMe token makes it trivial for ANYONE to upgrade a Dapp/DAO midstream to include new features in a decentralized fashion, without having to migrate to a new token contract and without having to ask for permission.
-
Vault
The Vault Contract is designed to hold ether and safely automate payments in a Dapp/DAO environment. It allows for a step-by-step decentralization process as trust in the code base is built over time.
-
Delegated Governance
One of Giveth core contracts we are working on enables a donor to delegate authority over their donations in a simple gas efficient way, following the principles of liquid democracy.

Milestone Payouts
Our milestone contracts once fully tested and they are able to keep organizations and causes accountable to their supporters. Breaking down lump sum amounts and ensuring milestones completion is an approach that would help all types of organizations (for profit or non-profits) as well as the current ICO ecosystem by reassuring that contributed funds are well spent.
