Founding public concept — draft v1.0

Status: Equity for Humanity is a founding public concept, not yet a registered charity, foundation, trust, securities offering, or investment product. The current goal is to invite collaborators, test the model, and explore legal and governance options.

Our community is humanity. Our benefit is universal.

Equity for Humanity is a proposed permanent public-benefit endowment designed to help every human being share in a growing portion of global prosperity through universal ownership.

Why now

If AI creates immense wealth, ownership decides who benefits.

AI may become one of the greatest engines of wealth creation in history. If ownership remains concentrated, its benefits will be concentrated too. In this new world, ownership becomes essential as AI reduces the role of human labour in wealth creation.

Technology makes it possible

AI, secure digital wallets, and transparent blockchain records can make a global ownership system far more efficient, auditable, and accessible than earlier generations could have imagined.

Generational legacy

Those who benefited from past and present growth can help current and future generations share in this next wave of growth — and help younger generations adapt to this new AI paradigm.

Supplementary ownership

Not a replacement for work, purpose, creativity, public AI initiatives, or national AI strategies. It is a growing support system for global individual security, human agency, and flourishing.

Founding principles

Ambitiously grand. Operationally simple.

Designed for optimal administrative efficiency, broadest reach, and hyper-growth — while protecting dignity, privacy, and trust.

Mechanism

One fund. Compounding. Simple payout.

For efficiency, the model focuses on one global fund: broad ownership of productive global assets, long-term compounding, and modest distributions that let growth continue working for humanity over time.

Flexible contributions

Accept cash, public securities, crypto, and other approved contributions, then steward or divest them under transparent rules.

Global index simplicity

The goal is not to pick AI winners. It is to own productive global growth broadly, efficiently, and transparently, as AI permeates the global economy. Roughly based on the FTSE Global All Cap Index.

1% target distribution

Target a 1% annual participant distribution, paid quarterly, from the fund’s trailing 3-year average market value into some form of digital wallet. Unclaimed benefits are recycled back into the endowment.

Key elements

Designed to be universal without becoming bureaucratic.

A public-benefit endowment only works if it earns trust: clear rules, low overhead, careful verification, and honest limits before public fundraising.

Global reach and individual choice

The ultimate goal is for every human being on the planet to have the ability and option to participate. Opt-in participants can claim, recycle, or contribute according to their situation.

Organic growth

Distributions may be very small at first, but the model does not wait for perfect scale. Pilot access can begin early, then expand as contributions, compounding, and verification capacity grow — so access and benefit scale organically with the fund over time.

Privacy-protecting verification

To protect the integrity of the system and prevent fraud or abuse, participants should be verified as unique living humans through privacy-preserving, globally accessible methods.

Agentic first, human oversight

To reduce operational overhead and management expense, AI agents will help research, draft, design, administer, and manage Equity for Humanity — with ultimate human accountability and approval.

Grassroots support

Schools, workplaces, student and online groups, and faith communities can organize local initiatives such as fundraisers, access support, and community outreach to help grow the breadth and impact of the initiative.

Transparent and Timely Dashboard

A future dashboard will account for every dollar coming in, and how and where it is distributed and invested on a minute-by-minute basis, potentially leveraging blockchain technology.

Universal by right. Opt-in by choice. Progressive by use. Self-recycling by design.Every verified human may claim their share. No one must prove need. Unclaimed benefits return to the endowment.
How it works

The reinforcing cycle

Contributions grow the fund, local initiatives expand access, verified participants claim, recycle, or contribute according to their situation, and compounding strengthens the next round.

1

Contribute

Individuals, companies, foundations, AI entities, and community groups can contribute cash, public securities, crypto, and other approved contributions to grow the endowment.

2

Connect

People and groups help others access Equity for Humanity through local initiatives and connector recognition.

3

Claim

Verified humans can opt in and claim, recycle, or contribute according to their situation.

4

Compound

Unclaimed and returned benefits recycle back into the fund, helping ownership grow over time.

Recognition and community

Some grow the fund. Some grow the reach. Both serve humanity.

Recognition levels are designed to encourage generosity through contribution circles and increase access through connector circles while keeping every participant’s benefit fully their own.

Optional recognition

Recognition can be public, anonymous, family-based, organization-based, in honour of someone, or in memory of someone.

Contribution circles

People and groups can grow through recognition levels as they contribute more over time.

Sprout$10+

Connector circles

Even if you can’t contribute, you can still help grow the initiative by helping individuals access the fund. Connector recognition stays simple: number of unique verified humans helped to access Equity for Humanity.

Early questions

Plain answers for a first public draft.

Is this a charity?

Not yet. The concept may become a charity, foundation, trust, nonprofit, sponsored project, or hybrid structure. The right path depends on legal advice, jurisdiction, and the first pilot.

Is this universal basic income?

No. It is closer to universal supplementary ownership: a small, growing, opt-in share of returns from a public-benefit endowment.

Would wealthy people be eligible?

The long-term aspiration is universal dignity and simple administration. People who do not need the benefit can ignore it, donate it back, contribute more, or let it recycle to the endowment.

Can people donate today?

No public donation flow should open until the legal container, custody, tax, compliance, reporting, and governance questions are ready.

Can children participate?

Children count. Families are trusted. Youth gain agency as they mature: guardian-managed for younger children, youth-managed where lawful for older teens, and self-managed for adults.

Could there be an investment arm later?

Possibly later: a regulated investment arm could offer simple global index investing. Investors would keep their own returns; only fee surplus or voluntary transfers would support the foundation. Invest for yourself. Contribute to humanity. Grow ownership for all.

What comes next

Rapid iteration to turn the concept into reality.

The near-term work is to reach out to potential partners/collaborators to sharpen this concept, create realistic app/dashboard prototypes, explore World ID and government-ID/liveness verification paths, and assess legal options, costs, and benefits before rolling out the initiative.
