Donors and grantors multiply their impact by supporting community improvement and economic development through SFLuv. Their donations are placed into a community treasury to be voted on by participating merchants.

Participating merchants vote on allocation of the community treasury towards community improvement proposals (CIP). These proposals can be put forth by both merchants and participating improvers.

Local service providers and individual community members who improve their neighborhoods by accepting, completing, and validating CIPs are rewarded with SFLuv tokens.

Rewarded improvers use SFLuv tokens to pay for goods and services provided by local merchants.

A small portion of each transaction in SFLuv is sent back to the community treasury, keeping the momentum going for future proposals.

Merchants may convert SFLuv tokens to USD, or continue to reinvest in their community by making purchases in SFLuv at other local businesses.

Each dollar donated to the SFLuv treasury yields double the economic impact: first, by strengthening the community infrastructure when an improvement is completed, and second, by driving economic development when an improver redeems SFLuv with a local merchant.
