Creation of wealth and improvement of society are inherently in conflict. In today’s age, this starts when traditional legal structures force new organizations to choose between the for-profit (wealth creation) path or the nonprofit (improvement of society) path, and then force them to stay in their chosen lane. They then join the fight over the money.
Our goals require that we embrace both lanes, and that we effectively merge the two lanes into one to avoid this otherwise inevitable fight. To achieve this, our organization includes: (1) an IRS approved 501c3 nonprofit organization, which acts as trustee of community funds and protects the primacy of our societal goals; and (2) a for-profit business that builds and operates the societal financial system and technology central to achieving our goals.
To ensure the integrity of the group, our founder and the officers and board of our nonprofit arm are precluded from financial equity in our for-profit arm or any other entity that benefits in any way from our efforts.

Everyone who works full-time, their dependents, and those who cannot work for age, health, or other valid reasons, should have access to basic well-being – food, water, a place to live, physical safety, healthcare, education, merit-based economic opportunities, and basic wealth creation.
The responsibility for achieving these goals should be sensibly balanced between the individual and the society they live in. Those who need work can be paid for work of value to society.
We do not seek to impose this principle on societies. We will simply offer the opportunities it provides to communities and let individuals and organizations choose to take advantage of it or not.

Rule One
We don’t take sides in any conflict, or in political, religious, ideological, legal, criminal, or moral issues, even though at times we will need to navigate complex issues in these areas. Taking a side would immediately make us untrustworthy to at least one group of people and likely lead to our failure. Trust is the basis of civilization, and of our success.
Rule Two
We have to earn people’s trust, in everything we do, every minute of every day.
