Tools to run your community, from SpiritDAO

Once a group forms it needs a way to decide, keep records and manage shared money. ICmatch partners with SpiritDAO, a nonprofit platform that gives a community proposals and voting, group chat and forums, a shared treasury and meeting records in one place the community owns. Everything is free to use; only communities that move money through the platform contribute a small donation. The ICmatch team has personally reviewed SpiritDAO and its founder, and our independent vetting report is on the governance platforms page.
