PROJECT FOUNDATION · CROWDFUNDING ROADMAP
Build public support with clear goals and visible responsibility.
A general community-support pathway is being prepared while the first project-specific Foundation campaign, safeguards, budget, and reporting process remain in development.
PROJECT-SPECIFIC CAMPAIGN STATUSIn development while general community support is prepared
Project-specific crowdfunding has not opened. The separate community-support page explains the current pathway and will display the verified Stripe destination when activated. Never send money through a personal account or an unofficial link.
Visit Community SupportWHAT THE FIRST CAMPAIGN SHOULD PROVE
Start with one useful, measurable promise.
The first campaign should fund a defined project that people can understand, track, and evaluate. It should create access now while building capacity for the broader Choice network.

Publish the campaign plan
Define a specific first project, budget, timeline, delivery risks, supporter terms, and measurable public milestones.
Complete legal and operational review
Confirm the campaign structure, financial controls, fulfillment capacity, disclosures, and any applicable tax treatment.
Open public support
Launch only when the campaign page, payment platform, reporting process, and delivery plan are ready.
