Frequently Asked Questions
How do Village Points convert to real money?
Currently, 1,000 Village Points = $1.00. This rate may improve as we secure more institutional sponsors and charity partners who want to match donations.
Can I choose which charity receives my points?
Yes! When you donate your points, you select from our verified partner charities. You can also donate to your Tribe's chosen cause for collective impact.
Why are verified activities worth more?
Our charity partners appreciate accountability. Verified activities (like step counts from your Apple Watch) provide proof that the wellness work was done, which strengthens our partnership with charities.
What if I can't connect a fitness tracker?
No problem! Self-reported activities still earn points. We believe in the honor system for personal wellness. You're here to grow, and we trust you.
How do institutional sponsors help?
Medical schools and residency programs can sponsor the points-to-cash conversion, effectively multiplying the charitable impact of every student's wellness activities by 10-20x.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Donations go directly to 501(c)(3) verified charities. The tax implications depend on your individual situation - consult a tax professional for advice.
