Clear answers for builders.

DoGoodie is a builder community and early-stage social-impact technology venture. It is developing a proof ecosystem and future platform where people can turn small ideas into useful action, document what happened, and build trust through evidence.

No. Discord is the current community hub. DoGoodie also runs challenges, develops builder profiles and proof-of-work practices, and is exploring future tools for verified collaboration. Those future systems are not yet an established platform or service.

Students, fresh graduates, self-taught and non-traditional builders, experienced contributors, developers, designers, creators, researchers, writers, organizers, coordinators, and people still exploring are welcome.

No. Useful execution, honest learning, communication, and reliability matter. Extensive formal work experience is not required.

Community access is currently free. Third-party services may have their own connectivity, account, or transaction costs.

Credible documentation of what you built or tried, what happened, what changed, what failed, and what you learned. It may include links, screenshots, data, outputs, or consent-based testimony.

Core Builder is a community trust and contributor role for people who demonstrate useful proof of work, judgment, reliability, communication, and responsible collaboration. It is not a moderator role by default, an employment title, or a guarantee of paid work.

It is DoGoodie’s first public mini-challenge. Up to 200 approved individual participants receive a $5 experiment fund and have seven days to use a meaningful leverage layer to reduce suffering, then submit evidence and reflection.

Applications open July 20, 2026 and close July 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM PHT.

The challenge starts August 1, 2026, after application review and funding on July 30–31.

Final proof of work is due August 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM PHT through the official Final Proof-of-Work Submission Form. That form may require signing in to Google. Discord is only for support, questions, and submission-related concerns.

The official Final Proof-of-Work Submission Form becomes available when the challenge begins on August 1, 2026. Submissions close on August 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM Philippine Time.

People age 18 or older may apply globally, subject to payment, legal, safety, sanctions, and practical feasibility. Selection is not guaranteed.

No. This challenge is for individual participants only.

No. It is an experiment fund, not wages, salary, a prize, or employment payment.

Yes. The $250 Grand Prize is confirmed and is separate from the experiment fund. It is awarded after eligible submissions are reviewed.

No. A simple donation does not qualify by itself. The challenge requires a meaningful leverage layer, real action, and measurable evidence.

Yes. You may use additional funds, existing tools, free services, personal equipment, or other resources if you disclose them honestly. Projects are judged on impact, evidence, execution, and learning—not on spending more money.

The official seven-calendar-day execution period runs from August 1 at 12:00 AM through August 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM PHT. Funding is scheduled for July 30–31 before the challenge begins.

Yes, if it enables a fresh experiment and a new measurable result during the challenge. Old screenshots without new execution are not enough.

No. Content, design, research, digital outreach, organizing, data, video, no-code tools, and other tech-enabled approaches can qualify.

Credible evidence of reach, use, behavior, access, learning, useful output, or another defined result connected to reducing suffering.

Safe, honest failure can still produce valuable evidence and reflection. Fabrication, concealment, or preventable harm cannot.

Ties are resolved in this order: Impact score, Evidence score, Execution score, then Skyler Hoffman’s documented decision.

Eligible submissions use a 35-point rubric. Skyler Hoffman makes the final winner decision using the rubric, submitted evidence, and the published tie-break process.

Only with participant consent and appropriate privacy safeguards. Public showcase permission is not an ownership transfer.

Yes. Eligible completers with a valid final submission will receive a certificate. A public website verification system is planned but not yet available.

No LinkedIn badge or placard is currently confirmed. DoGoodie will announce it only if that recognition is formally introduced.

Official schedule, postponement, or cancellation updates will be posted through the DoGoodie Discord and Facebook page. Participants should rely on those channels and the website for confirmed updates.

No. Joining DoGoodie, completing a Builder Profile, participating in a challenge, or becoming a Core Builder does not guarantee paid work. Any funded collaboration requires a real need, clear scope, available budget, suitable fit, and mutual agreement.

Trusted builders may occasionally be considered for clearly scoped funded collaborations when there is a real need, available budget, suitable skills, strong fit, and mutual agreement.

No. Core Builder is a community trust role, not an employment title or permanent status.

Yes. The current challenge application may ask for account or payout details from applicants. Provide only information required by the authorized form and review the Privacy Policy before submitting.

No public legal-name requirement is stated. Private payment, tax, identity, or eligibility processes may require accurate legal information, but that information is not automatically public.

No. Contact information, private form responses, payment details, scores, internal notes, and unredacted evidence are not intended for public display.

Yes. Contact DoGoodie through the working Discord or Facebook routes. Reasonable identity verification may be required before private records are changed or removed.
