Thanks for the support Jurgen!  Please help us spread the word.

We don't require any translations at this time, but thanks for offering.

We've recently received a number of questions around coin demand and increasing the value of the GIVE Coin.  To ensure that the community understands, our ecosystem supports the frequent exchange of GIVE Coin through donations, buying, selling, etc.  New grants on the Grant Hero platform will use the GIVE Coin to help facilitate the creation of new grants.  These purchases (similar to buybacks) will inheritantly increase the demand and value of the GIVE Coin as usage and adoption increases.

As the value of the GIVE Coin appreciates, so does your asset value and giving power.  From there, you can sell it for profit on an exchange, donate funds with a personal grant (and get a tax-deductible receipt), or a combination of both.

We hope that this helps clarify things.

Good job Grant Hero Team...

Thank you Katysgysa and Tansoft64 for the kind words and support.  We hope that you contrinbute to the upcoming pre-sale / crowdsale.

Here's a summary of five reasons to contribute to our crowdsale.

Experienced and authentic team:
The core of our team are technologists with years of experience working in the industry at companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and more. In fact, most of which have had experience working together prior to joining Grant Hero, resulting in strong team chemistry, collaboration, and a track record of success. Our experience extends around multiple disciplines and specialties.

Solution to a real problem:
At Grant Hero Foundation, we are seeking to disrupt the non-profit industry which has been operating with the same archaic principles and processes for decades. The industry is ripe for innovation and the application of blockchain technology can open doors to new possibilities that provide donors with complete autonomy and transparency in the charitable giving process.

Token Utility:
At The Grant Hero Foundation, we wanted to utilize the functionality of smart contracts on the Ethereum platform to create unique functions that leverage the technology itself. More specifically, creating a new technology called GiveChain™ that anchors giving data to the blockchain. In other words, provides a receipt of giving history for each donation. This receipt provides irrefutable proof of the giving data recorded at a specific time. Thus, preserving data and charitable giving integrity and increasing overall trust in the industry.

Execution:
Execution > Ideas... Unlike many other crowdsale’s, we are not raising funds to begin the development of Grant Hero. Our foundation has been in motion since Spring of 2017 and the beta version of the platform is completed. We believe that it is our responsibility to build trust by demonstrating our capability and passion through action prior to raising funds (as opposed to asking the community to invest on risky projects with no product that may never come to fruition). Grant Hero is a long-term full-time commitment for our team regardless of a whether or not our crowdsale is successful.

Potential:
Charitable giving is forecasted to reach $400B in 2017 alone. Helping others in need is increasing becoming more popular as new tools and platforms are being created to help simplify the process. We at The Grant Hero Foundation truly believe that we are on the forefront of this change and will become a leader in providing trust and tranparency in this industry.

As many or you may or may not be aware, Slack was designed as a tool for private team communications and not to facilitate public forum-type conversations.  While many companies have effectively leveraged it for both, it has introduce security issues that enable hackers / scammers to imitate and compromise the system for selfish benefit while impacting others.  Thus leading to loss funds, privacy, and more.

To protect our community and contributors for our upcoming crowdsale, we will be reverting our Slack back to private communications for our team today.  We ask that correspondence be directed to either of the following:
-  Bitcointalk ANN thread  (monitored hourly):  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2132508.80
-  Email at help@granthero.ngo  (monitored hourly)
-  Chat tool on our website at https://crowdsale.granthero.ngo  (monitored real-time)

Thank you all for your support as we continue to implement methods that help protect our community.

In case you missed it, view our beautiful GIVE Coin explorer below.

The GIVE Coin explorer enables anyone to view giving data anchored to the GIVE Coin blockchain for complete transparency.  This is just one of many tools we are developing to provide trust and transparency in the non-profit industry and charitable giving process.

We are excited to announce our first live grant on our Grant Hero platform! Vinny Langham, CEO of Civic, has graciously launched a public grant to help natural disaster victims. More details here: https://goo.gl/pxu4eL. Eligible individuals can apply now at http://granthero.ngo/grants/vinnylinghamgrant.

Vinny's syndicate grant begins at $5k and can increase in size as other donors contribute to the cause. Please help support by adding to the cause or by creating your own personal grant. (Grant Hero platform also supports BTC, ETH, and GIVE as well) All contributions receive a tax-donation receipt.

Grant Hero inspires a new way of transparent giving that empowers donors to control their cause, gift path, and recipient. This is just one example and use case of how we are making charitable giving more transparent. With our GIVE Coin, giving data (including the donor, recipient, and amount) will also be written to the blockchain.  We plan to roll on more partners that will accept the GIVE coin and make it the official cryptonized asset for the non-profit industry.

Charitable giving will never be the same!

Grant Hero community!  As an update, we are in conversations with a number of small and large exchanges across the world.  The positive news is that each are extremely intrigued and interested about our mission, Grant Hero products and tools, and GIVE Coin utility.  However, the last component of their decisions are based upon community demand from a successful crowdsale.

Pending a successful crowdsale, we can expect to be listed and available for trade in some of the top exchanges in the industry.  We are asking for support from the entire community to help spread the word and achieve this!

Due to low engagement, we regret to inform that we will be putting our crowdsale on hold at this time.

When we started exploring this process, we envisioned being able to create excitement around providing transparency in the giving process on the GIVE Coin blockchain. Unfortunately, we've discovered that there isn't much interest and support for this and other non-profit crowdsales that are currently in progress as well.

We will return funds to all contributors within the next 48 hours. Thank you to those that supported us. We will publish a blog article with our learnings and experience in the future. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
