Public kindness

Leave an encouraging note in a public place

A short, kind note left on a community board or in a library book.

What this is for: A nice moment for whoever finds it
What the person actually does: Write or print one short, kind note and leave it where a stranger will find it: a community board, a library book, a noticeboard where notes are welcome.; About 10 minutes of real work. Delivers 1 kind note left.
Proof they have to send (photo): No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur.
Photograph the note where you left it.
Show the note and the spot, never a person reading it.

You pay$10

Where your $10 goes

Paid to the person who does the deed — the full amount, with nothing taken out$10

The price is set from a fair wage — about 25 minutes of real work, travel, and proof photos at our $18/hr floor — and the person keeps every dollar. Card processing and platform costs are on us, never taken from their pay.

Secure checkout. Payment runs through Stripe; your deed is funded and handed to the engine the moment it confirms. The engine then sources a verified local person under a strict spend cap.

You are paying a real person a fair wage to do a real good deed. It is a service, not a donation, so it is not tax-deductible.

What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an answer from the deed itself. The three they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?: Send photo of the result. Rules: No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur. Photograph the note where you left it. Show the note and the spot, never a person reading it.
How much do I get paid?: This deed pays $10 — the full listed amount, with nothing taken out of your payment. It's labor only, so you never buy anything or spend your own money. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?: No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
