13. The LifeMaker Trust

13. The LifeMaker Trust will promote the network distribution while preserving its integrity and founding values.

The trust will be be run as a non-profit organization that promotes social and environmental welfare. Every peer in the LifeMaker network will automatically be a stakeholder of the LifeMaker Trust.

Members will cover the network’s operational costs and all the extra funds generated by the platform (eg. donations) will be reinvested into community projects and events. The trust will also issue an yearly transparency report on accounting & finances.

The LifeMaker Trust is made up of three concentric layers of contributors — the “Core”, the “Seeders”, and the “Supporters” — plus an external advisory board — the “Elders”.
