Frequently Asked Questions

The clear circle icon in the center of the fence boundary designates you and your location. To send thanks to people inside the boundary, touch your clear icon in the center of the geofence. While touching, drag your icon to the person's icon to synchronize. Once synchronized, the person's icon will blink and their name/username will appear on the “sync/send thanks” bar.

To send “DonorDollars”, touch the plus sign to set the number of DonorDollars to send, then touch the arrow on the far right to send.

Note: If you want to change the person you have synced to, but have not yet sent “DonorDollars” to, simply touch your clear icon and drag it anywhere on the map screen.

Note: If the map screen is not present, check your cellular and/or internet connection.

The line bar in the top left-hand corner of the home screen brings up a pull-down screen as a shortcut to other functionality such as chat or refer a friend.

This takes you to the BeKind.global home page.

If you want to use the application to scan a QR code, touch it and the QR code scanner will launch. You may also scan using your camera.

The “i” (information) icon takes you to the help screen.

The History page contains a list of the DonorDollars you have sent, received and refunded. When sending thanks, if the person has not collected them after three days, these “DonorDollars” tokens are redeposited back to your account and are no longer available in the link you sent.

The dashboard shows how many “DonorDollars” tokens you have, along with all of your “purchase” and “gift” transactions. On the dashboard are the icons to “Buy DonorDollars”, gift DonorDollars to your favorite charity, Request DonorDollars, and Send DonorDollars.

Sending a Request for DonorDollars is based on the idea that if someone wants to thank you for something you have done, you can send them a QR code/link that lets them send DonorDollars to you. Think of the FedEx driver who goes to great lengths to find you. You ask, “How can I thank you?” They respond: just send me a few “DonorDollars”…

To get tokens, click the “Get Free DonorDollars” button on the Dashboard Screen.

These tokens hold no inherent real-dollar value but serve as a means to encourage involvement within the BeKind Foundation's community of giving and gaming for charitable purposes.

The primary objective is to establish the BeKind Charitable Bank smoothly. Currently, the token is freely obtainable and doesn't represent actual currency. The intention is to potentially convert these tokens and listed gifts into a tangible US dollar value in the future through significant donations from gaming, banking, large foundation, or corporate entities.

We have an extensive list of over 2 million charitable organizations you may choose to gift your DonorDollars to. There are many ways to find your favorite charity if you don't already have one in mind, and once you find your favorites you can save them.

You must have at least 10 DonorDollars to gift and must set the amount before you decide where they go. Once set, the next screen shows your favorite charities (set in preferences in the app), suggested charities that came with gifted DonorDollars, and the custom search and widget search buttons. Experiment with both. Save your favorites.

The BeKind Charitable Bank is building and will sell the first Virtual Charitable Unicorn to a larger gaming company, bank, or company at scale. The day we sell, the money will be used to back our community token DonorDollars with real currency, and to process all of our community gifts in the registry.

The Registry will be published only for our members' access.

The profile icon displays your profile. You may edit your profile and/or log out.

Gesture Setting: the default gesture setting provides the standard use of the icon buttons when sending thanks. The shake-phone option allows the user to wave to the person receiving thanks. This functionality and additional game-like interactions are for future exploration. We recommend choosing the default setting.

This setting is for your security and is tied to your password. It sets the maximum amount of thanks that may be sent at any one time. It resets daily, or you can use your password to increase or decrease it.

Daily Transfer Limit: similar to the Single DonorDollars Transfer Limit, it is set using your password and resets daily.

This function lets you set your favorite organizations so you don't have to find them again. These organizations are also delivered with the DonorDollars you send to others. Recipients of your thanks will see them as ones you like, but they are not required to gift to them. This is useful for people or organizations who received blocks of thanks and distribute them to many customers, friends, employees, and alumni.

Final note: when you send DonorDollars, the amount is deducted once you generate the link. If for some reason you don't want to send the link, use the scan button on the home page and click on the link. It will be redeposited to your wallet. All DonorDollars deducted when sending that are not collected are redeposited to your wallet after three days. Go to your “History” screen and click the Refund button to review.
