# CHNGMKR

> CHNGMKR (chngmkr.com) is building a community-owned trust for changemakers. It maintains a living, human-curated map of changemakers across 45+ countries. Every entry is recommended by a curator the changemaker inspired: no algorithm, no self-promotion, no scraping. Through real connections, CHNGMKR helps people feel inspired, find direction, and take action.

## How the map is made

1. Inspiration: the people who inspire you admire others you don't know yet.
2. Recommendation: CHNGMKR asks them to name the changemakers who matter to them.
3. Your compass: cross-referenced, the recurring names draw the map, and you can explore it through the eyes of a curator you trust.

The map is free to browse, no account needed. Each profile is signed by the curator who vouched for it.

## Membership (CHNGMKR+)

CHNGMKR+ is the paid membership: €12/month or €90/year (save 37%).
Members get, on top of free browsing:

- Save changemakers to personal lists.
- Ask the map in natural language (AI search, up to 100 searches/month, grounded in the CHNGMKR knowledge base and curator recommendations).
- Request curated introductions: CHNGMKR's team explores a path to someone on the map, subject to the person's availability and consent.
- Blueprints: in-depth guides drawn from real changemaker trajectories, at least one every six months.

## The trust model (value sharing)

Each year, CHNGMKR shares at least 10% of its contribution margin with the community, split 50% to curators, 25% to changemakers and 25% to the Impact Pool (changemaker-led projects). Contribution margin is the revenue remaining after VAT, refunds and payment fees, once the direct costs of delivering the relevant service or project are covered. It is not 10% of revenue, turnover or profit. Once CHNGMKR is financially secure, this share is topped up so that the community receives 50% of distributable profit in total; the two mechanisms do not stack, as amounts already paid as the Community Share are deducted from this total. Distributions are settled annually under the CHNGMKR Constitution.

The curator allocation (50% of the community share) is divided in three parts: 40% presence (split equally between the curators who signed at least one card during the year), 30% curation (pro rata of the cards a curator has signed and that are still live at year end), 30% resonance (pro rata of member engagement on those cards during the year: 1 point per heart, 5 points per introduction request; views are excluded). The chief curator and founder, Florian Guillaume, is excluded: his cards and their engagement are left out of the counts, so the allocation is divided in full between the other curators. No other curator receives more than 25% of it; any excess is redistributed under the same rules.
