The commitment, in one sentence
The majority of DOLLA's premium-tier revenue is committed to charitable causes — board-governed, distributed through partnered nonprofit vehicles.
That's the canonical phrasing — not a percentage, not a per-transaction claim, not an on-chain audit promise. The wording is deliberate. Each piece of it carries weight.
Why 'majority' and not a specific percentage
Specific percentage claims tied to per-transaction giving (e.g. '51% of each subscription is donated on-chain') sound stronger but are a regulatory and operational liability for a platform our size. The actual mechanics — which premium-tier line items are 'revenue,' how operating costs are accounted for, how board governance directs allocation — don't fit into a simple per-transaction percentage. A platform that promises '51% per transaction' is making a claim it can't audit consistently across all revenue lines.
'Majority' is the honest formulation. It's a real commitment, board-overseen, with the operational flexibility to actually deliver on it across years and revenue cycles. The result is the same — most of the platform's premium revenue flows to charitable causes — without the per-transaction-audit liability.
What 'board-governed' means
DOLLA is part of Kingdom Portfolios LLC's structure, which includes a board with fiduciary oversight of charitable distributions. The board reviews allocations on a regular cycle and is accountable for ensuring the majority commitment is delivered. This is the standard governance pattern for social enterprises — closer to how Patagonia's Holdfast Collective directs Patagonia's profit than to how a startup's CSR program operates.
Board governance matters because it makes the commitment durable across leadership transitions and revenue volatility. A founder's promise can shift; a board's fiduciary obligation can't be unilaterally rescinded.
What 'partnered nonprofit vehicles' means
DOLLA distributes through 501(c)(3) and equivalent partnered nonprofits rather than running its own grant-making infrastructure. The partnered nonprofits handle programmatic delivery (the actual food banks, mentorship programs, recovery houses, water projects, etc.); DOLLA handles the funding.
This is deliberate. Partnered nonprofits already have decades of operational expertise, regulatory compliance, and field presence. Building a parallel grant-making operation would dilute focus and create duplicate overhead. The model is closer to how a community foundation funds a portfolio of working nonprofits than to how a private foundation runs its own programs.
Where the giving goes
DOLLA's expanded mission scope includes adoption and foster-care homes, sober living and recovery programs, homeless services and shelters, and other vulnerable-populations charitable work. The selection prioritizes causes where (a) the partnered nonprofit has demonstrated programmatic impact, (b) the gift-to-program-delivery ratio is high, and (c) the work aligns with DOLLA's values-led mission.
The platform publishes annual transparency reporting summarizing total premium-tier revenue, total charitable distribution, and the partnered organizations receiving funds. The detail is at the partnered-nonprofit level, not per-transaction — which is the right resolution for this kind of governance.
What this means for creators
Creators on DOLLA aren't asked to donate. The $1/month follow goes 100% to the creator. The charitable commitment is funded entirely from the optional user-side premium tiers ($4.99/mo Verified, $4.99/wk Sovereign).
What creators get is a platform whose mission aligns with theirs — many creators (especially those serving values-aligned audiences: pastors, nonprofit directors, recovery community leaders, educators) find that running their work on DOLLA reinforces their own brand alignment rather than working against it.
Creators who choose to direct their own income toward charitable causes can opt into Philanthropy Mode (default off) which auto-routes a portion of their income to mission-aligned causes through a partnered charitable directory. Users can do the same. Both retain full audit trail of their own giving.
What this means for supporters
Subscribing to a creator on DOLLA at the $1/month free tier sends 100% to the creator. Upgrading to a $4.99/month Verified or $4.99/week Sovereign tier sends some of that revenue to DOLLA, where the majority is committed to charitable causes per the model above.
Sovereign-tier supporters can also send custom one-time donations to creators (the equivalent of a 'super tip'). Those donations route 100% to the creator unless the supporter chooses otherwise. Sovereign supporters receive direct impact reports on the platform-level charitable distributions.
