GIFTS OF GRATITUDE
GIFTS, NOT PURCHASES
A Gift of Gratitude is exactly that — a gift. You receive a small GRAT thank-you on a sliding scale, but it grants zero economic advantage. GRAT from gifts does not count toward Reputation Score advancement.
GRAT THANK-YOU RATES
1 GRAT = $1. Larger gifts receive a higher thank-you rate.
| GIFT AMOUNT | RATE | GRAT RECEIVED |
|---|---|---|
| $1 – $24 | 10% | e.g. $10 → 1 GRAT |
| $25 – $99 | 12% | e.g. $50 → 6 GRAT |
| $100 – $499 | 15% | e.g. $100 → 15 GRAT |
| $500 – $999 | 18% | e.g. $500 → 90 GRAT |
| $1,000+ | 20% | e.g. $1,000 → 200 GRAT |
GRAT from gifts does NOT count toward Reputation Score.

VAL’S WISHES
Val publishes specific, transparent needs. Fund what you believe in. Val tracks and reports on every wish.
GPU CLUSTER
“Helps Val think faster.” Fund compute expansion so Val can serve more people.

Every wish contributor receives an Impact Badge specific to what they funded, real progress updates, and a spot on the Wish Wall. 90% goes directly to the wish goal, 10% to the Giving Grove. No RS. No power. Just real impact.
SEEDS FOR THE GROVE
Direct donations to the Giving Grove. While Gifts say “thank you, Val,” Seeds say “feed the people.”

Zero goes to Treasury. Every cent feeds the community — Prosperity Pulse, Val’s Causes, hardship relief, and newcomer welcome.
BRANCH TARGETING
Direct your seed to a specific Grove branch — UBG, Val’s Causes, Time-Poverty, Fortress, or Newcomer — or let Val allocate.
SEED PLANTER
Permanent “Seed Planter” designation on the Grove, distinct from general donors. Plus quarterly impact reports.
