Transparent Giving

Projects & Donations

Track TaoDaoism service projects, temple-development milestones, public needs, and safe progress updates without exposing private donor or recipient information.

Public Project Dashboard

Every project should show what is needed, what has been received, and what happens next.

The public side should be transparent and understandable. The private backoffice should preserve privacy, security, donor records, restricted funds, receipts, and internal notes.

Temple Project

Proposal Foundation Added

Project Governance

Every Project Needs a Clear Giving Model

Projects should separate public progress from private records, define restricted donation rules, and show only safe transparency data.

Active and Planned Project Boards

Each project can have its own purpose, restricted donation category, in-kind needs, milestones, updates, and public reporting. Values below are placeholders for structure only.

Public View

Safe information that supporters can see.

  • Project status and current phase
  • General goals and safe milestones
  • Needed items and received items
  • High-level budget categories
  • Sanitized progress updates
  • Project-specific donation options

Private Backoffice

Internal information that should not be exposed publicly.

  • Donor records and contact details
  • Receipts and vendor quotes
  • Restricted-fund ledger
  • Addresses, recipient data, and sensitive logistics
  • Internal notes and task assignments
  • Security-sensitive temple details

Transparency Boundary

TaoDaoism should show responsible public progress without using donor pressure, exposing vulnerable people, or implying that donations purchase blessings, miracles, protection, cures, spiritual rank, or ritual power.
