Board Nonprofit Template

What It Is

NONPROFIT-BOARD is the board and committee nonprofit setup for programs that require formal approvals and multi-program tracking. It creates a public nonprofit profile, donation and program wallets, and committee roles with defined scopes. Allocation rules, policy changes, and material grants stay visible on-chain through tagged flows and anchored approvals.

Template Code

Template code: NONPROFIT-BOARD. This label keeps the template consistent across apps, links, and public views.

Board + Committees

Board roles and committee scopes define approvals for budgets, grants, and allocation policies.

Program Wallets

Multiple program wallets track allocations by program so funding and spend stay distinct.

Allocation Tags

Allocation tags split program, overhead, and fundraising so public views remain consistent.

Transparency Floor

Board composition, inflows, and category outflows remain visible for donor verification checks.

Best Fit

NONPROFIT-BOARD fits nonprofits running multiple programs with board and committee oversight. It suits NGOs with finance, grants, or program committees and donors who expect policy-backed controls. Day-to-day payments stay efficient while allocation changes and large disbursements follow formal approvals.

Committee Oversight

Committees approve grants, budgets, and finance actions within delegated scopes and thresholds.

Multi Program

Multiple programs are tracked with program wallets and tags so allocations stay separable.

Policy Controls

Allocation policies define routine vs protected spend and require approvals for changes.

Allocation Reporting

Program and overhead splits appear in live views, giving a strong transparency baseline.

Not a Fit

This template is not for small single-program nonprofits or for umbrella foundations with designated funds and selective disclosure. If you only require a basic board without committees, NONPROFIT-SIMPLE is a better fit. If you require designated funds, sponsorship programs, or privacy modes, move to NONPROFIT-COMPLEX.

Simple Nonprofit

NONPROFIT-SIMPLE fits single-program teams without committee layers or multi-program controls today still.

Designated Funds

NONPROFIT-COMPLEX supports designated funds, sponsorships, and selective disclosure controls for larger structures.

Corporate Model

Equity structures and shareholder governance belong in CORP-* templates instead of nonprofits.

Governance and Roles

Nonprofits have no equity; authority sits with the board and delegated committees. Board seats define quorum and voting thresholds for policy changes, program allocations, and material grants. Committee roles handle finance, audit, or program oversight, and secretary roles anchor decisions so evidence remains public.

Board Seats

Board seats define quorum and voting thresholds for allocation policies and material approvals.

Committee Roles

Committee roles cover finance, audit, grants, or program oversight with delegated approvals.

Treasurer Role

The treasurer initiates disbursements and prepares allocation events under board policies and limits.

Secretary Role

The secretary anchors minutes, committee approvals, and policy updates for public evidence.

Allocation Policy

Define how funds move between programs, overhead, and fundraising with on-chain allocation policies. The board sets the rules, while committees can enforce thresholds for grants or program payouts. These policies are anchored on-chain so allocation changes stay public and accountable.

Program Rules

Program rules define which categories and wallets are tied to each program allocation.

Overhead Rules

Overhead rules keep operational costs visible and prevent mixing program funds with admin spend.

Fundraising Rules

Fundraising rules separate campaigns and donor operations so fundraising spend is clear.

Wallet Structure

Separate money by purpose so activity is easy to follow. Donations arrive in the main wallet, program wallets track allocations, and operating treasury covers shared expenses. Authority wallets sign approvals, while payment wallets receive and send funds. This keeps control separate from cash so activity stays easy to verify.

Donation Wallet

Wallet type DONATION receives gifts and grants so inflows are isolated from spending activity.

Program Wallets

Wallet type PROGRAM tracks program budgets, grants, and disbursements by mission area.

Operating Treasury

Wallet type OPERATING_TREASURY covers shared operating costs and vendor payments across programs.

Reserve Wallets

Wallet type RESERVES holds buffers or restricted balances when the nonprofit sets funds aside.

Operating Assets

Show operating totals in USDC so values stay stable and easy to compare. Treasury wallets can also hold DCHUB for gas or long-term exposure if you decide to keep it. Those holdings are tagged so summaries stay clear and do not mix with operating cash.

USDC Totals

All v0.1 totals use USDC so views stay stable across time and tools.

Treasury Holdings

Treasury and reserve wallets may hold DCHUB alongside stablecoins when you want network exposure.

Tagged Assets

DCHUB balances should carry asset_tag and BAL_DCHUB so explorers separate them from operating cash.

Gas Payments

Transaction fees are paid in DCHUB by the signing wallet each time it submits a transaction.

Donation and Payment Modes

Accept donations directly or through on-chain payment requests so supporters see a clear amount and purpose. Recurring plans support scheduled giving, and each request carries a status so the team sees what is open, paid, or canceled. Donations settle in USDC and route to the donation wallet.

Direct Donations

Supporters can send USDC directly to the donation wallet for immediate on-chain confirmation.

Donation Requests

Payment requests set amount, purpose, and payer reference so giving stays organized and consistent.

Recurring Plans

Recurring plans schedule repeat giving so supporters can commit to monthly or quarterly donations.

Status Updates

Each request status updates from open to paid or canceled so follow-up stays clear.

Donation Items

Define giving tiers or sponsorship packages so payment requests stay consistent. Each item has a label, target amount, and ID that can be reused across campaigns and tags. This keeps donor reporting clear without retyping the same details.

Item Reference

Create an item_id with a label and amount so giving tiers are reusable.

Suggested Amount

Suggested amounts keep requests consistent while allowing supporters to give more or less.

Campaign Linking

Use item_id with campaign tags to connect giving tiers to reports and summaries.

Program and Vendor Payouts

Tag grants, vendor payments, and stipends so allocations stay visible without exposing sensitive beneficiary details. Payee wallets receive funds, while approval roles control when disbursements go out. Apps can batch payouts to match program cycles.

Payee Wallets

Payee wallets receive grants or vendor payments directly, separate from any authority roles.

Tagged Disbursements

Disbursements carry program or grant tags so allocations are easy to identify in summaries.

Batch Payouts

Apps or SDKs can batch payouts when you want recurring or grouped program payments.

Tagging and Evidence

Tags are simple labels added to each payment so activity stays understandable over time. For grants and material disbursements, you can attach proof by anchoring a secure reference to approvals, receipts, or agreements. This creates a clear trail without publishing private files.

Core Required

These tags are required on every flow so views stay consistent. Pair reference_type with reference_id.

category_code counterparty_type reference_id reference_type

Program and Fund

Use these tags to split allocations by program, fund, or restriction when applicable.

program_tag fund_tag restriction_tag

Donor and Reporting

Use these tags for donors, grants, campaigns, and impact reporting when applicable.

grant_id donor_tag campaign_tag item_id beneficiary_tag impact_area_tag region_tag project_tag counterparty_tag

Evidence Anchors

Anchors link to receipts, grant letters, or approvals without publishing the document itself.

Materiality Threshold

Set a materiality threshold so larger items require evidence, with 1,000 USDC as the default.

Counterparty Directory and Privacy

Repeat donors, grantees, or vendors can be labeled with private nicknames instead of real names. The real-world mapping stays off-chain under your control, which protects sensitive data. Public views show only the tag and wallet, not the underlying identity. You still get a consistent history of who gives and who receives without exposing identities.

Pseudonymous IDs

Use donor_tag or counterparty_tag to label donors without publishing names on-chain publicly.

Off Chain Mapping

Keep the real-name mapping off chain so only your team can see it.

Repeat Counterparties

Track repeat donors and vendors across payments without publishing personal details or identifiers.

Operating Flow

Move from setup to live activity with board and committee governance in place. Setup binds board and committee wallets, defines allocation policies, and sets approval thresholds. You register the nonprofit, connect wallets, receive donations, and tag what happens so views stay consistent. Each step writes to the on-chain history, keeping operations clear for the team and anyone checking.

Register and Bind Governance

Set Wallets and Policies

Connect donation, program, and treasury wallets, then set allocation policies and limits.

Receive Donations

Accept direct donations or payment requests so inflows land in the donation wallet.

Allocate to Programs

Move funds to program wallets or vendors following committee or board approvals.

Tag and Anchor Evidence

Tag money in and out, and anchor approvals or receipts for material items.

Review and Close

Review live allocation views, then close a period if you want a fixed snapshot.

Live On-Chain Views

Explorers show live summaries from tagged transactions without waiting for manual exports. You can see balances, allocation splits, and tag coverage as it happens. Others can check the same numbers you see, which keeps public visibility in sync.

Wallet Balances

Wallet balances update as transactions confirm on-chain, so the numbers stay current.

Allocation View

Allocation views summarize program, overhead, and fundraising splits across any selected period.

Coverage Ratios

Coverage ratios show which flows are fully tagged and which still require context.

Data Exports

Exports are optional for offline analysis or backups when you want files outside the chain.

Registry, Logs, and Proof

Use the registry and governance log to verify identity, status, official wallets, approvals, policy changes, and role updates. Each approval entry shows who signed and when, creating a clear decision trail. Anchors timestamp policies and grant documents when proof is required, so the history stays durable and verifiable.

Registry Entry

The registry lists identity, status, and official wallet bindings so anyone can verify the setup.

Governance Log

The governance log shows approvals and role changes in time order for clear accountability.

Anchored Proof

Anchors timestamp receipts and policies so their existence can be verified later.

Lifecycle and Status

Signals show whether a nonprofit is active, paused, or closed, so people know if donations should go through. Apps can show the status automatically as a simple safety cue. This reduces confusion and prevents money from going to inactive entities.

Status States

Status labels show whether the entity is active and safe to pay, using a consistent color set.

draft active suspended dissolved

Payment Endpoints

Payment endpoints resolve from the entity ID and wallet type, so users do not copy raw addresses.

Interface Warnings

Interfaces can warn when an entity is suspended or dissolved so donors avoid sending funds.

Upgrade Paths

As the nonprofit grows, it can move to a different template without losing continuity. Upgrades add designated funds, umbrella sponsorship workflows, and selective disclosure modes for larger operations. The same entity history remains intact across transitions.

Nonprofit Complex

Template code NONPROFIT-COMPLEX adds designated funds and selective disclosure workflows for sponsors.

Simple Nonprofit

Template code NONPROFIT-SIMPLE fits when committee governance is removed for simpler operations.

Where to Operate and Verify

The official app handles day-to-day actions like registration, donation requests, and approvals. Public tools (registry, explorer, and official indexer) let anyone verify identity, status, and wallet bindings. This keeps what you do and what others see in sync across the network.

Official App

The official app is where you register, issue requests, tag payments, and approve actions.

The Registry

The registry confirms identity, status, and official wallets so donors can verify who they support.

The Explorer

The explorer, powered by the official indexer, shows transactions, balances, and public history.

Official Indexer

Reference data service that powers explorer summaries and reporting views for consistent visibility.

dApps & SDKs

Third-party dApps and SDKs let you build custom flows or integrate giving into products.

Manifesto

"My goal is simple: make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to form an entity that can operate with credibility, continuity, and real financial rails, built for stablecoin-native operations."
