Contribution Balanced Participation

The Definition

A way of contribution to services that comes from gifting culture. It may look very similar to tipping or donations. However, it has deeper roots in changing the way we approach money and financial contributions. It allows for people to choose their contribution from 0 to ∞. It enables everyone to meet in the same circle, as we all have something to learn from each other. It is a very inclusive way of contributing to each other. It also enables the service provider to open themselves up for accepting 0 as well as ∞, which may not be very easy for everyone. This approach has the basic assumption that with the inclusion of people, everyone's contribution will be balanced to create a harmonious living experience for everybody who participates.

How to use it

In a sentence

It can be shuffled when used in a sentence.

Ex: I balanced my contribution by paying €1000, so that people who couldn't pay also participated.

In a service

This is the explanation used to introduce it:

Today, it is an undeniable situation that there is a gap between people's solvency —ability to pay.

With this awareness, we believe everyone giving what they can according to their wealth is the best way going forward in terms of equal access rights.

People with more wealth can give more, while people with less wealth can give less. We don't expect to see proof of wealth. We simply believe in the integrity and fairness of your choice. We expect you to decide how much you value this journey and your contribution.

This way, we unlock the opportunity to give everyone access to this experience and contribute. We balance this contribution thanks to you. We want people without the ability to pay at the moment to benefit as well. We think, through this inclusivity, all of us can meet around the same circle. We are introducing the Contribution Balanced Participation Fee to unveil the unifying power of money.

Where do you see yourself creating this balance?

You can choose anything between 0 — ∞. The choice is yours.

The History

Even though there have been very similar approaches before it, with all of its depth it first has been introduced around 2020 with the intention to be spread and used by everyone. Anyone can use the introduction to embed this approach in their services.
