FAQs
What is The People’s Fund?
The People’s Fund is a national, member-driven investment fund. Every month, Americans pledge what they can, and then vote on how those funds are allocated. From clean energy to community health, members directly decide which projects are funded — together, as one people
How does it work?
Pledge: You choose a monthly contribution that works for you.
Vote: Each member gets one vote — no matter how much you pledge.
Fund: Winning proposals receive grants, and the results are published openly for everyone to track.
Is this a charity or a political movement?
We are neither charity nor politics-as-usual. The People’s Fund is a grassroots, community-driven movement designed to put power and resources back into the hands of the American people.
Who decides where the money goes?
You do. Every member has an equal vote. No single person, corporation, or politician can control the outcome.
Can anyone submit a project proposal?
Yes. Individuals, nonprofits, and community organizations can all submit proposals. Each must include a clear budget, measurable outcomes, and a plan for accountability.
How do you make sure the money is used responsibly
All funded projects are monitored against milestones. If a project underperforms, the community can vote to pause or redirect its funding. Monthly third-party audits and a public transparency dashboard keep everything accountable.
How secure is the voting system?
Votes are protected with multi-factor authentication, verified membership records, and published in an auditable, anonymized log. Every member can see results , no hidden counts, no backroom deals.
Do bigger donors get more votes?
