Sponsor Allocation System

Default Recipients: Let’s Make Dinner + Defense Klaus (automatic unless removed)
Cost of Doing Good: Mandatory allocation to chosen initiatives
Defense Klaus Integration: Same process for signing up anonymous recipients

Allocation Breakdown

When a sponsor contributes (e.g., $5,000 for Johnny Appleseed):

Cost of Doing Good Allocation

Default Initiatives (Automatic)

Unless explicitly removed by the sponsor:

Why These Two?

• LMD: Addresses immediate physical need (food)
• Defense Klaus: Addresses immediate safety need (legal protection)
• Both have universal applicability across all members

The Anonymous Sign-Up Process

Defense Klaus sponsors use the same interface to sign up recipients:

1. Email Entry Box (multi-line)

   • Each email entered = $6 added to contribution
   • Emails do not need to be tied to recipient identity
   • Sponsor email can also be anonymous

2. Instructions to User:

   “Enter email addresses for recipients. These should be emails they can access, but do not need to be associated with their legal identity.”

3. Process Flow:

   Enter email → $6 added → Click Next → Disappears → In database
   

Already Registered Email Handling

When an entered email is already in the system:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                 │
│   This email is already registered.             │
│                                                 │
│   Would you like to add $[AMOUNT] to the        │
│   Legal Defense Fund anyway?                    │
│                                                 │
│   [ Enter Amount: $6 ]                          │
│                                                 │
│   [ Yes, Add to Fund ]    [ Skip ]              │
│                                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Note: The overlay covers the email so it is not displayed, protecting the registered user’s presence in the system.

The Normalization Design

The Defense Klaus sign-up is designed to be:

• Simple: Add email, click next, done
• Integrated: Same flow as general sponsorship
• Unobtrusive: Single action, then interface moves on

This creates a low-friction path for anyone to add recipients to legal protection.

Technical Flow

Standard Sponsorship

1. Sponsor enters contribution amount
2. System calculates allocation:
   - Platform: 16.7%
   - Memberships: $5 × recipients
   - CoDoG: Remainder
3. Default initiatives pre-selected (LMD + DK)
4. Sponsor can modify allocations
5. Email entry for recipients
6. Each email = additional funds added
7. Submit → Processing → Confirmation

Defense Klaus Only

1. Sponsor selects "Defense Klaus Sponsorship"
2. Email entry box appears (multi-line)
3. Each email = $6 added
4. If email exists → Overlay asks about Fund contribution
5. Submit → Emails processed → Confirmations sent
