About
Vox is two entities. A private company builds the platform and sells it to institutions. A registered charity receives every gift, runs the ballot and owns the work.
Structure
The company and the charity
Vox Technologies
Private company. Owned by the founders.
Builds the platform and sells it to councils, employers and other charities.
Earns from institutions. Takes nothing out of a gift.
Free platform
Commission only
Vox Foundation
Registered charity. Independent board.
Receives every gift, runs the ballot, funds and owns the work.
Pays the company nothing for the platform it runs on.
The company gives the charity the platform for nothing. The only money going the other way is commission on sponsorship the company has sold. Every gift lands in the foundation and nowhere else.
Trust
How the money is handled
01
Two accounts. Gifts go to projects. Sponsors and enterprise income pay the team, so every dollar given reaches the work.
02
Every dollar sits on a public blockchain, reconciled to the bank feed. The record cannot be quietly changed.
03
Nothing of value goes back to a giver. No refunds, no vouchers, no wage sized to a gift.
04
Paid roles are open to everyone and priced by the job. Proposing a project never wins the contract to build it.
Grants
The grant agent
Once a project is funded, an agent looks for every government grant it qualifies for and writes the application. Your gift stops being the budget and becomes the contribution the grant asks you to match.
01
Find
The agent reads the federal, state and council registers and matches open rounds to projects you have already funded.
03
File
A person signs and submits it. An application carries legal attestations, so the agent never files on its own.
04
Acquit
The ledger is the acquittal. The reporting that sinks most grant recipients is already done.
The vote count is evidence no other applicant can produce. Most programs score community demand, and most ask for a contribution you have already made.
