Transparency

How we generate revenue, where it flows, and why we publish everything. You asked for clarity. Here it is.

GreenSweep's Revenue Model

GreenSweep doesn't depend on donations. We generate revenue through commercial partnerships and direct all of it (minus operations) toward environmental impact. Here's how:

1

Advertising Partnerships (Live Today)

Cost-Per-Action (CPA) networks pay us when users create accounts, vote, or take other actions on the platform. These are legitimate, mainstream networks used by thousands of businesses globally. Current revenue: approximately €11 per user, with 70% flowing to projects (€7.70 per user in verified environmental funding).

Example: User signs up → Advertiser pays €2 → GreenSweep retains €0.60, directs €1.40 to environmental projects
2

Matching Fund Partnerships (Coming Q2 2026)

Philanthropic organizations (Donor Advised Funds, foundations, wealthy donors) commit to matching community-directed funding. If the community votes for a project and it receives €100,000, a matching partner contributes another €100,000. This multiplies impact without requiring additional user action. Target: double per-user impact to €25+.

Example: Community votes direct €50,000 to Amazon Reforestation → Matching partner contributes €50,000 → Total impact: €100,000
3

Corporate Social Responsibility Programs (Coming Q3 2026)

Enterprises use GreenSweep for employee engagement and CSR reporting. Companies pay us to facilitate employee voting and impact tracking, with results integrated into corporate sustainability reports. Revenue scales with enterprise adoption. Target: add €50–100+ per user at enterprise scale.

Example: TechCorp licenses GreenSweep for 10,000 employees → GreenSweep generates €50,000+ → 70% flows to projects (€35,000+)

Why Three Layers?

Diversification. Advertising revenue might fluctuate. Matching funds depend on philanthropic availability. Corporate programs take time to scale. By building three independent revenue streams, we ensure stable funding for environmental projects regardless of market conditions.

The €11 → €150 Per-User Journey

Here's how we plan to scale impact per user over the next 24–36 months:

Phase 1: Foundation (Now – Q2 2026)

€11

Per-user revenue

€7.70

To projects (70%)

Advertising

Primary source

Advertising partnerships generate core revenue. Platform scales to 10,000+ users. Proven model for user acquisition and revenue generation.

Phase 2: Amplification (Q2–Q3 2026)

€25+

Per-user revenue

€17.50+

To projects (70%)

+Matching Funds

New revenue layer

Matching fund partnerships launch. Philanthropic partners commit to matching community-directed funding, effectively doubling impact.

Phase 3: Enterprise Scale (Q3 2026+)

€150+

Per-user revenue potential

€105+

To projects (70%)

+CSR Programs

Enterprise engagement

Corporate CSR programs launch. Large enterprises use GreenSweep for employee engagement and impact reporting, generating significant additional revenue.

These are projections, not guarantees.

The €11 baseline is proven and generating real funding. The €25 and €150 targets depend on successful execution of matching funds and corporate programs. We will publish actual per-user impact figures on the Impact Dashboard monthly. You'll see real progress, not marketing claims.

The ratchet only goes up

GreenSweep starts at 70% to projects during our initial operating period — already in the "Efficient" band alongside CharityWatch Top-Rated organisations. Our mid-term ambition is 85% to projects, placing us among Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF. As our operation grows and attains scale benefits, the ratchet clause in our founding documents ensures GreenSweep reaches best-in-class.
