Recognition is what you get. A generation counted is what you fund.
Every dollar goes to the Milestone Reward pool — the money that pays out when a Signer hits a milestone, applied straight to a bill.
Teenth’s philanthropic mechanism is not charity in the traditional sense. It is a funded, structural reward for demonstrated reliability.
When a Signer reaches a verified milestone — accounts connected, an on-time streak sustained, a threshold of Circle attestations earned — a real bonus is released and applied directly toward a bill. Bill-locked, which is also what makes it hard to defraud.
The Score is not only a credential a Signer can present later. It pays, in a small way, today. And the Signer who benefits today is the Foundation who funds someone else’s reward tomorrow.

Membership funds the milestones.
Memberships fund the reward pool — the money that pays a Signer the moment they hit a milestone. What you get back is a record of your own: your name on the roll, on someone’s milestone, in the charter. Supporters sign the Amendment too.

One-time, and permanent
Anyone can sign the Amendment, and everyone who does is on the record. These two are recorded differently: a thousand Founding Signers, a hundred Founding Members, and after that the lists close for good.
Founding Signer
1,000 seats, ever
You funded someone's first thirty days.
$25 of your seat pays a Signer's First Thirty — the first thirty days they met every obligation on time, and the first time the system visibly worked for them.
1000 of 1000 seats left
- You are a Founding Signer of The Teenth Project — permanently, on the Founding Charter
- A numbered seat, 1 to 1,000
- A sealed, numbered certificate — yours to print
- You're told whose First Thirty your $25 paid for
- First to hear if a community investment round ever opens
One-time · this purchases no security, share, or ownership
Founding Member
100 seats, ever
You funded two people's ratification.
$200 of your seat pays two Signers' Ratification — accounts connected, five people who vouched for them, $100 each. The moment a record stops being private and becomes witnessed.
100 of 100 seats left
- You are a Founding Member of The Teenth Project — permanently, on the Founding Charter

Founding Partner
Your name on a community's record, permanently.
A Founding Partner is matched with a 501(c)(3) — a school, a nonprofit, a congregation, a workforce program — and underwrites a reward pool reserved for that organisation's own members, plus the programming that gets them started.
Arrange a conversation- Recognised as a Founding Partner of The Teenth Project — permanently, and by name
- Matched with a 501(c)(3) partner whose members your pool serves
- Your gift goes directly to that 501(c)(3), not to Teenth
- A dedicated reward pool and onboarding for that organisation's members
- Named on every milestone it funds — “Ratified by ___”
- A yearly report you can hand to your board
A membership purchases no security, share, or ownership in The Teenth Project, and is not a tax-deductible donation. A Founding Partner gift is made directly to the matched 501(c)(3) and its deductibility is a matter between the partner and that organisation.
