FAQ
Everything you need to know about donating, transparency, and how your support makes an impact.
How donations work
What happens when I donate?
Your donation goes directly toward projects that help people
with limited mobility — through research, therapies, and
innovative technologies. In the future, you will also receive
a ChariToken for your donation, which gives you the right to
vote on which project your money supports. This governance
platform is currently in development.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), TWINT, PayPal,
and offline donations (bank transfer). All payments are
processed securely through Stripe. No cryptocurrency payments
are required or accepted through our donation form.
What is a ChariToken?
A ChariToken is a digital governance token issued exclusively
by Vibes4Future. When the governance platform launches, donors
will receive ChariTokens that let them vote on which project
receives funding. ChariTokens have no price, cannot be bought,
and carry no investment value. They exist for one reason: to
give you a say in where your donation goes.
Do I need to understand blockchain to donate?
Not at all. You can donate with a credit card, TWINT, or PayPal
just like on any other website. Blockchain is simply the
technology we use behind the scenes to make donation tracking
transparent and tamper-proof. You don’t need a wallet, a token,
or any technical knowledge to support our mission.
Is this the same as investing in cryptocurrency?
No — and this is an important distinction. We use blockchain
the same way a notary uses a stamp: to make a record permanent
and verifiable. ChariTokens cannot be purchased, sold, or
traded on any market. They are not a financial product. Your
donation is a charitable contribution to a registered Swiss
nonprofit, not an investment.
Trust & safety
Can ChariTokens be stolen or hacked?
ChariTokens carry no market value and cannot be sold or traded, which makes them an unlikely target for theft. The underlying blockchain record — what was given, when, and for what purpose — cannot be secretly altered by anyone, including us.
What happens to my donation record if Vibes4Future ceases to exist?
The blockchain record of past contributions remains publicly verifiable regardless of any single organization’s existence. That said, ChariTokens do not guarantee future services, rewards, or continuation of any program — those depend on the association itself.
Is Vibes4Future regulated?
Yes. Vibes4Future is a registered Swiss association with tax-exempt status granted by the Canton of Bern, subject to the same legal and tax oversight as any nonprofit in Switzerland. Our statutes and commercial register extract are publicly available on our transparency page.
How we track your impact
How can I see where my donation went?
Once our governance platform launches, every ChariToken transaction will be recorded on a public blockchain ledger. This means the flow of contributions can be independently traced and verified — by you, by journalists, or by auditors — rather than relying solely on our own reporting.
Is my identity public on the blockchain?
No. The blockchain records the transaction itself — amount, timestamp, and wallet address — not your personal identity. Your name and personal details are handled separately under our privacy policy and are never published on-chain.
Governance & partnerships
Who is FutureVibes and why are they involved?
FutureVibes is the technology company that builds and provides the governance platform, including the ChariToken system and the Vibes4Steps app. It was founded by two members of the Vibes4Future board, who contribute their technical expertise to the mission. FutureVibes provides this infrastructure at cost — with no fees, no profit, and no financial ties to the association.
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
We disclose the relationship between Vibes4Future and FutureVibes openly, in line with Swiss nonprofit governance standards (ZEWO). Board members with a personal interest in a related decision step aside from that decision. No money flows between Vibes4Future and FutureVibes in either direction — there is no profit flow, no fee, and no financial transaction of any kind between the two entities.
