🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): A conditional philanthropy model: foundations and institutional funders contribute funds to Ynternet.org Foundation, receive WikiDeals tokens via the bonding curve, and use them for the tokens' first purpose: obtaining subscription years and offering them to verified beneficiary populations. Funders are aware of the distinction between buying tokens and making a donation; a pure donation (no tokens) remains an independent option. Distributing subscriptions does not activate the distributor's own tokens: activation comes only from subscriptions actually collected from other users. Implementation complexity and verification costs remain open questions.

💡 In simple words: This page is about organisations that buy WikiDeals tokens and use them to offer free platform access to groups of people they want to help, like students.

Targeted Donations

WikiDeal enables a model of conditional philanthropic funding: foundations and institutional funders can contribute funds to Ynternet.org Foundation, receive WikiDeals tokens via the Bonding Curve, and use those tokens for their first purpose: obtaining subscription years and offering them to specific beneficiary populations (students, low-income workers, migrants, etc.) through validated User Groups.

Foundation contributes funds → receives WikiDeals tokens → exchanges tokens for subscription years → assigns years to verified beneficiaries, with zero profit for WikiDeal or Ynternet.org

Two clarifications apply from the start:

A contribution that generates WikiDeals tokens is a token purchase, well distinct from a donation. Institutional funders are aware of the distinction between buying tokens and making a donation. A pure donation (no tokens requested) remains an independent option: see targeted pure donations for emerging User Groups.
Offering or distributing subscription years does not activate the funder's own tokens. Before activation, purchased tokens serve only for subscriptions (obtaining and offering them); activation comes only from the subscriptions actually collected from other users (see WikiDeals tokens).

Targeted Donations

Funder	Foundation / Institution
Recipient	Ynternet.org incubator
WikiDeals tokens	Issued via the Bonding Curve (token purchase)
Exchange	WikiDeals tokens → subscription years
Assignment	To verified beneficiaries
Verification	User Group (+ IA option)
Profit	Zero, cost recovery only

Concept: offering subscriptions with conditions

Traditional philanthropy has a problem: funders give money but have limited visibility into whether it actually reaches the intended beneficiaries. WikiDeal's targeted model addresses this by tying contribution → WikiDeals tokens → verified eligibility → subscription years, creating a transparent, auditable chain from funder to beneficiary.

This is the first purpose of WikiDeals tokens: obtaining subscription years and offering them, to bring new people into the movement. As an individual-scale illustration: someone who contributes CHF 1,000 at a ×100 multiplier receives 100,000 tokens, worth 10,000 subscription years, and can split them freely: 1 year to 10,000 people, 2 years to 5,000 people, or 10 years to 1,000 people. WikiDeal can propose target audiences and beneficiaries, and the token holder decides whether to offer part of the years. This is an option, never an obligation.

This model also benefits funders: instead of a simple tax deduction, they receive WikiDeals tokens whose subscription years have measurable platform value, and they can demonstrate to their board exactly how many people received access and who verified their eligibility.

Funding Workflow

1 Foundation contributes funds

Foundation contributes funds to Ynternet.org Foundation (incubator), as a token purchase. Amount is agreed in advance based on target beneficiary population size.

2 WikiDeals tokens issued

Via the Bonding Curve (at a reduced ratio for institutional funders), the Foundation receives WikiDeals tokens. Example: 10,000 CHF contributed → 100,000 WikiDeals tokens received.

3 WikiDeals tokens exchanged for subscription years

The Foundation exchanges WikiDeals tokens for subscription years (at 10 CHF/year). 100,000 WikiDeals tokens → 10,000 subscription years, enough for 10,000 people to receive 1 year of platform access each. This exchange is the tokens' initial purpose; it does not activate any remaining tokens the Foundation may hold.

4 User Group verifies eligibility

The Foundation defines eligibility criteria (e.g. "students without state support or parental aid, in active employment"). A validated User Group verifies each applicant's eligibility.

5 Subscription years assigned to beneficiaries

Verified beneficiaries receive their subscription years, 1 to 3 years each, depending on the Foundation's policy. They gain full platform access without paying.

Services Provided to Funder Foundations

WikiDeal association (exploitation) provides two categories of paid services to funder foundations:

1. Criteria Definition Service

WikiDeal helps the Foundation formalize their eligibility criteria into a verifiable, auditable definition. This includes:

Mapping criteria to documentable evidence types
Defining validation procedures
Creating exemption/waiver procedures for edge cases
Documenting the full attribution process

2. Eligibility Verification Service

The User Group (or an AI-assisted process) verifies each applicant's eligibility against the defined criteria. WikiDeal charges for this verification work; the fee covers:

Staff time for document review
AI custom integration costs (if a custom verification AI is deployed)
Audit trail creation and storage
Dispute resolution for contested eligibility decisions

ℹ️ All fees are cost-recovery only. Ynternet.org Foundation and WikiDeal association earn zero profit from targeted funding. Fees are published and audited.

Eligibility Verification

Verification can be handled at three levels, depending on the Foundation's requirements and budget:

Level	Method	Cost	Precision
Basic	Self-declaration + document upload	Low	Moderate
Standard	User Group manual review	Medium	High
Advanced	Custom AI + User Group audit	Higher	Very High

For the advanced level, a custom AI can be deployed to pre-screen applications, flag anomalies, and prioritize cases for human review. The cost of this AI deployment is recharged to the Foundation as part of the verification service fee.

Example: Student Foundation

A foundation supporting financially independent students (no state aid, no parental support, working while studying) approaches WikiDeal:

Contribution (token purchase): 50,000 CHF to Ynternet.org
WikiDeals tokens received: 150,000 tokens (at a reduced bonding curve ratio for institutions)
Subscription years generated: 15,000 subscription years
Attribution: 1 to 3 years per eligible student → 5,000 to 15,000 students covered
Verification: Custom AI pre-screen + User Group audit
Cost to Foundation: 50,000 CHF contribution + 3,000 CHF service fees (criteria + verification)
