If you're not familiar with the concept of Basic Income, you can go to this wikipedia link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income
but you can also google or youtube it, you'll find a lot of info about Universal Basic Income, or Basic Income Garateed.
In short, is a periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to every citizen on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement.

So, Grantcoin works in that concept. It's not just a cryptocurrency like many others, the Grantcoin Foundation believes that access to the money supply whenever money is created should be a universal human right, not a privilege. So, each time they add grantcoins to the system, they´ll giveaway to everyone who chooses to participate.

Besides charity, they also focus on education, by raising awareness about the history of money and finance and the moral issues and negative consequences associated with the current for-profit monetary system, and explain the benefits of a non-profit, non-governmental alternative.
It was founded by 3 socially conscious executives with diverse experience including in nonprofit management, project management, entrepreneurship and startups, religious ministry, and the emerging field of alternative digital currency.
They are a nonprofit organization which was legally incorporated as an exempt non-stock corporation in the State of Delaware, USA, in March 2015.

If you want to participate, create a Grantcoin account, if care to use this link wich has my referal code,

The Ekata platform is designed for individuals, communities, associations, and municipalities. It will include powerful tools such as profile pages, public posts, direct messaging, forums, group governance, and an e-payment system using Grantcoin. All Ekata users will be able to receive Grantcoin Basic Income on a regular basis in a web-based wallet on the platform.

But you can later keep your coins on a desktop Grantcoin wallet.
