Vision and Mission
Everyone desires to feel valued; it is one of our fundamental human needs. When we use praise and gratitude to acknowledge and appreciate the effort and positive impact of others, we increase feelings of social worth and awareness of value to the organization, which leads to increased prosocial behavior. As a result, individuals are more likely to engage in and contribute to communal activities, resulting in stronger and more vibrant communities.
Praise has been an essential part of the Giveth community, it serves as a catalyst for cultivating a culture of support, encouragement, and mutual recognition. Our belief in the inherent value of praising one another’s contributions transcends any external rewards that may be associated with it. At Giveth, we embrace this fundamental principle, as it aligns perfectly with our mission to build a better future by nurturing a community founded on care, vision, and the profound act of expressing support and gratitude towards our fellow members.
Goals
To implement, maintain and continuously improve the Praise system and build a culture of rewarding actions from anyone that adds value to the Giveth ecosystem.
