Community Controlled Funds
hum.community is a microgranting platform that puts resources directly into the hands of our communities. Funders, charities, NGOs, social enterprises, Iwi, Local Councils work together with hyper-local community groups in real-time - streamlining decisions, building trust, and proving impact with every dollar spent.
Hum is the first application built by The Wellbeing Protocol, a New Zealand based social enterprise building the infrastructure for a wellbeing economy.
