Receive Donations to Afford Your Joy

​

• APPROVED USE OF DONATIONS:  I will use the funds to find and increase my joy which may include but is not limited to the following: sustainable travel, organic and plant-based food as a staple to my long-term health which is a foundation to joy, daycare and caregiving including for animals and elderly, safety including rent for a safer place to stay or safe transportation, relaxation and wellbeing, organic and plant-based supplies and materials for hobbies and necessities, adoption of animals, family planning, affording living payments like rent or mortgage or taxes, paying off debt that was from any of the approved uses of donations, services that help with health and on anything else listed in the Joy Giver Directory.

​

• UNAPPROVED USE OF DONATION: I will NOT use the funds on any of the following: firearms & weapons, tobacco & E-cigarettes, pornographic & adult content and services, buying animals that were bred or using the money for a breeding business, gambling, skill games & lotteries, investing in fossil fuels, new items that could instead be bought as refurbished or recycled, foods and products with pesticides, sex, transportation and websites for sex and/or trafficking, producing/buying/transferring illegal drugs, any illegal interaction with minors, paying off debt that accumulated from any of the unapproved uses of donations, supporting companies who are known for low wage/discrimination/bad environmental practices, political campaign money, lobbying and more. 

​

• I will use my intuition and highest judgment on what to use the money for, including eco-necessities vs. necessities that use harmful ingredients or practices, to increase my joy now and for the long-term benefit of myself, family, friends, community, animals, planet and all people. 

​

• I understand that I am allowed to save the funds if it helps me build savings so that I can feel the joy of having security of a rainy day fund.

​

• I understand that I can donate the funds back to Joy Hub, or gift the funds to someone, a dependent or some other nonprofit for the purpose of finding or increasing their joy which will fall under the same guidelines of receiving donations myself for the purpose of joy.

​

• I understand that I can be removed from receiving donations if I use the funds for anything not helping my joy, not helping my wellbeing or the wellbeing of others, animals or the earth as mentioned in this entire list of approved and unapproved ways to use the funds.

​

• I understand that discounted products from Joy Givers must not be purchased with the intent of reselling them.

​

• I understand that if I do or do not receive donations, it does not give me the right to sue or hold Joy Hub liable for the donations or hold of them for any reason including but not limited to: cyber attack, computer malfunction, lack of donor funds, lawsuits, not enough funds to cover processor fees, sending a lump sum to specific beneficiaries, or not able by law to send donations on a one-time or reoccurring basis.

FAQs and more details about using Wise and receiving donations:

​

• Joy Hub is not responsible for any sensitive data you share with Wise. We will not have access to your bank account information that you transfer donations from Wise to. 

​

• Please be sure to transfer to your personal bank and not a business account to ensure compliance with receiving donations. 

​

• All background checks are done through Wise, so failure to pass Wise's standards and get setup will be means of dismissal from our donation program.  No Wise, no donations.

• If you change email addresses with Wise, you'll need to alert us via email at least 20 days before a donation release with the new email address. This also goes for any name changes. 

• All donations will be sent/transferred in USD. It is your choice to then exchange USD for any other currency but it is at your own cost. 

• Any loss of donation is not our responsibility and you should take every measure NOT to rely on our donations to live on. We will do our best to include you in the next round of donations if you email us with what went wrong. 

• Joy Hub reserves the right to hold, divide and disperse donations in varying amounts and frequencies depending on Joy Hub's operations cost, amount of donations and minimum amounts to transfer. Example, it probably won't make sense to send donations of less than $20 at a time. 

• We will be grouping members by date of signup of earliest to most recent to receive donations. 

• Must be 18 years or older. And for now be a resident of the USA. 

• We are not limiting donations by income level because we all have different paths, but if you make over $100K AND don't have a fear associated with how you can afford joy in the short and long-term for yourself and your dependents, then please do not apply.
