Our Commitment

We believe remembrance can ripple outward. A tribute left for someone who is gone can also become a small, gentle gift toward someone who is just beginning.

The Pay-It-Forward Fund

As T.O.M.B grows, a percentage of net tribute proceeds — what remains after the costs of keeping this space safe, permanent, and private — will be directed to the Pay-It-Forward Fund. The Fund does not exist yet. When it is formed as a DAO, its purpose will be simple: to put these proceeds toward education.

That might mean notebooks, school supplies, devices, tuition help, or other learning essentials — wherever the need is greatest and the impact is most human. We are keeping the scope broad on purpose, because the needs will vary and the proceeds may be modest at first.

Honest expectations

The amounts may be small to begin with, and possibly zero in the earliest days. We are sharing this now not to promise a specific number, but to make the intention clear from the start: T.O.M.B is being built to remember the past and quietly invest in the future.

A promise made early

The exact percentage, the first recipients, and the governance details will be decided as the Fund takes shape. When it is ready, it will be governed transparently. Until then, this page is our promise that memory here can also become care somewhere else.
