These values are at the core of our mission and will continue to guide our company in the future.
2. Community: We strive to foster a sense of community on our platform and aim to create a global network of givers and innovators who are committed to making a positive impact.
3. Inclusivity: We are committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity, and we do not tolerate discrimination, hate speech, or any form of harassment on our platform.
4. Sustainability: We are committed to operating in an environmentally sustainable way and seek to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing sustainable practices wherever possible.
5. Transparency: We believe in transparency and open communication with our community. We are committed to being transparent in our policies, practices, and financial reporting.
6. Innovation: We are committed to continuous innovation and development of our platform to provide the best user experience for our community.
7. Impact: We measure our success not only by financial metrics but also by the positive impact we create on society and the environment. We aim to maximize our impact through our platform and operations.

We are committed to upholding these principles and strive to be a force for good in the world through our crowdfunding platforms including raisefree.com, doraise.com and yellowscooter.studio
