Grants and non-profit funding
The same milestone rails, pointed at public good.
The model
Non-profits, open-source projects, and grant programs use BeeFi's second track:
- Milestone-released donations. Supporters fund a mission; the money unlocks as published milestones are delivered. Donors stop having to wonder where the money went — the structure answers them.
- Membership and governance tokens. Supporters can receive non-financial tokens that carry membership and voting rights — never revenue shares, dividends, or buyback promises.
- Verifiable governance. Votes are share-weighted, tallied in the open, and checkable by every member.
Why the split from the equity track matters
Donations are not investments, and BeeFi treats them differently on purpose:
- the grants catalogue is public — anyone can browse missions and support them, with no investor-verification gate;
- grant tokens are strictly non-financial — the moment a token carries financial rights, it belongs on the gated equity side of the venue, with the full compliance surface applied.
This gives communities a funding surface that is open by design, while keeping the regulated activity exactly where regulation expects it.
Who it serves
- Non-profits and charities that want radical transparency as a fundraising advantage.
- Open-source and public-goods projects funding development in stages.
- Grant programs and foundations that want milestone control and auditable outcomes without building the machinery themselves.
- Member organisations that want governance their members can actually verify.
What donors should still know
Milestone release reduces misuse risk; it does not evaluate whether a mission is worthwhile, and governance tokens on this track are not investments and will never pay out. Give because the mission matters to you — the structure simply keeps the money honest along the way.
