Targeted Donations

WikiDeal enables a powerful model of conditional philanthropic Donations: foundations and institutional donors can donate funds to Ynternet.org Foundation, receive crédits en récompense via the Bonding Curve, and direct those credits to specific beneficiary populations (students, low-income workers, migrants, etc.) through validated User Groups.

Foundations donate → receive credits → exchange credits for subscription years → assign years to verified beneficiaries — zero profit for WikiDeal or Ynternet.org

Targeted Donations

Donor	Foundation / Institution
Recipient	Ynternet.org incubator
Reward	Crédits en récompense
Exchange	Credits → années de cotisation
Assignment	To verified beneficiaries
Verification	User Group (+ IA option)
Profit	Zero — cost recovery only

Concept: Donations with Conditions

Traditional philanthropy has a problem: donors give money but have limited visibility into whether it actually reaches the intended beneficiaries. WikiDeal's targeted Donation model solves this by tying Donation → credits → verified eligibility → subscription years — creating a transparent, auditable chain from donor to beneficiary.

This model also benefits donors: instead of a simple tax deduction, they receive crédits en récompense that have measurable platform value, and they can demonstrate to their board exactly how many people received access and who verified their eligibility.

Donation Workflow

1 Foundation donates

Foundation donates to Ynternet.org Foundation (incubator). Amount is agreed in advance based on target beneficiary population size.

2 Crédits en récompense issued

Via the Bonding Curve (at a reduced ratio for institutional donors), the Foundation receives crédits en récompense. Example: 10,000 CHF donated → 100,000 crédits received.

3 Credits → années de cotisation

The Foundation exchanges crédits for années de cotisation (at 10 CHF/year). 100,000 crédits → 10,000 années — enough for 10,000 people to receive 1 year of platform access each.

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 Années 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 Donor Foundations

WikiDeal association (exploitation) provides two categories of paid services to donor 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 Donations. 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:

Donation: 50,000 CHF to Ynternet.org
Credits received: 150,000 crédits (at reduced bonding curve ratio for institutions)
Années generated: 15,000 années de cotisation
Attribution: 1–3 years per eligible student → 5,000–15,000 students covered
Verification: Custom AI pre-screen + User Group audit
Cost to Foundation: 50,000 CHF Donation + 3,000 CHF service fees (criteria + verification)
