Frequently Asked Questions

Will this change the nature of volunteering at our organization? +
No. Karma Cash enhances rather than replaces traditional volunteering. Volunteers still choose to serve your mission because they care about your cause. The economic incentive simply makes it easier for them to contribute more time and stay engaged longer.
What are the costs for our organization? +
There are no costs to nonprofit partners. Karma Cash is funded through transaction fees paid by tax credit buyers and government partnerships. We provide all platform access, training, and support at no charge to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations.
How do we verify volunteer hours? +
Our platform provides multiple verification methods: GPS check-in/out, supervisor confirmation, photo documentation, and blockchain timestamping. You maintain control over the verification process while we provide the tools to make it seamless and fraud-resistant.
What if volunteers are only motivated by money? +
Our screening process identifies volunteers who align with your mission. The economic incentive attracts people who want to help but need practical support to volunteer regularly. Studies show that once people begin volunteering, intrinsic motivation grows stronger than external rewards.
