Community Ownership Charter

Community Ownership Charter

Purpose

To ensure Solum Legacy remains a civic artifact, owned in part by the community it serves. Dunlap holds a financial and symbolic stake, embedding pride, jobs, and continuity into the platform.

Ownership

  • Community Reserve: 10% equity allocated to Dunlap.
  • Revenue Share: 10% of all revenues flow back into community initiatives, jobs, and stewardship.
  • Custodian: Equity held in trust or foundation, managed by appointed curators and civic leaders.

Governance

  • Community stake is non‑dilutable without majority founder approval.
  • Funds directed toward local initiatives: tech training, curator mentorship, civic projects.
  • Curators and civic leaders act as stewards, not controllers — product governance remains with Founders.

Symbolic Identity

  • Shield emblem represents trust and civic pride.
  • Community stake is both financial and narrative: Dunlap’s stories live forever through Solum Legacy.
