== Step 2: The Donor's Choice (Need-Driven Funding) ==

Not all generated Rewards are necessarily kept by the funder. Within the frame of the [[Gov/en/Portal:~~R&D~~/~~Innovations:~~Need-Driven Funding|Need-Driven Funding mechanism]], each donor '''freely chooses at donation time''' how many of the generated Rewards they keep and how much they leave to the project as pure support. Simple formulas are currently proposed to make this choice easy (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards-FAQ|Rewards FAQ]]): Pure Patron (x0, everything is given), Seed Keeper (x1, break-even), Harvester (x2, double if it works), or Gardener (the maximum generated by the curve). This choice is made at donation time: it does not change later.

Simple formulas are currently proposed to make this choice easy (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards-FAQ|Rewards FAQ]]): Pure Patron (x0, everything is given), Seed Keeper (x1, break-even), Harvester (x2, double if it works), or Gardener (the donor keeps all or part of the maximum generated by the curve, choosing the exact percentage; always more than x2). Gardener is the formula most donors are expected to choose. This choice is made at donation time: it does not change later.

* Kim chooses the '''Harvester (x2)''' formula: out of her 100,000 generated Rewards, she keeps '''2,000 Rewards''' (twice her CHF 1,000 donation) and leaves the rest to the project as pure support.

* Noah chooses the '''Gardener''' formula: he keeps ~~all~~ '''320,000 Rewards''' generated by the curve.

* Noah chooses the '''Gardener''' formula and sets his percentage at 100%: he keeps the full '''320,000 Rewards''' generated by the curve (he could equally have kept only a part and left the rest to the project).

The share left to the project supports WikiDeal's development and operations. The Rewards kept by Kim and Noah are what generate their future rewards.
