GenerEOS is a Social Enterprise Block Producer candidate whose mission is to re-engineer the way that funds are distributed to Charities and Community Projects. This has been our primary goal since inception and now that we have accumulated funds as a paid stand by Block Producer, we can start giving back to those who need it most.
Our goal is to bring these charities and social causes into the EOS fold by providing the donations as EOS. We understand that many charities will not have the resources or know how to access EOS tokens so we plan to take them on this journey and introduce them into the blockchain realm.
Giving Policy
Earlier in the year, we committed to give away 20% of net profit on a quarterly basis to vetted charities and community projects. Our first quarter ended on October 1st and in total accumulated 817.348 EOS ready for allocation to worthy causes. See below for our Q1 financial breakdown:
For safe operation of the block production systems we will continue to allocate 30% of revenue to a savings float until there is enough revenue accumulated to sustain operations for 6 months. After this threshold has been reached, the percentage will be lowered or removed with the exception for market conditions and the remaining diverted back for allocation.

Distribution
Until we develop on-chain solutions for nominating/voting on beneficiaries, we developed an interactive interim solution where we held a competition on our Telegram channel and gave away a bunch of POOR tokens and merch in return for voting participation. In total there were 77 entrants that voted on our shortlist of 7 beneficiaries. Here are the results:
