True social innovation isn't about creating new apps; it's about changing behaviors. It's about finding latent resources in the system and building the necessary pipelines for them to flow where they are most needed.
Redona.org is born under this revolutionary premise. We are not a software company; we are engineers of a new social contract between donors, the State, and civil society.
Donors
Citizens committed to social change
State
Fiscal system as a catalyst for good
NGOs
Organizations that transform communities
The Injustice of the Current System
Until now, the U.S. tax code has been an exclusive club. Only the wealthiest 10% of taxpayers receive tax incentives for donating. The other 90% — the middle class, young people, workers — use the "Standard Deduction." For them, generosity comes with no tax "reward."
10%
Tax Elite
Taxpayers who itemize deductions and receive incentives for donating
90%
Forgotten Majority
Citizens without tax incentives whose generosity goes unrecognized
The invisible barrier: If you donate $100 with a standard deduction, it costs you $100. The system is blind to your effort.
2026: The OBBBA Act Changes Everything
1
Before 2026
Exclusive system benefiting only the richest 10%
2
OBBBA Act
Activates the universal "Above-the-Line" deduction
3
New Era
Every dollar donated by the forgotten 90% generates a right to a tax refund
This legislation represents the greatest opportunity for philanthropic democratization in decades. Suddenly, the barrier falls, and millions of donors can access tax benefits.
But a law, by itself, changes nothing if people don't have the tool to leverage it. That's where Redona comes in.
Matching Gov: Government as Your Philanthropic Partner
Matching Gov is Redona's groundbreaking innovation. We reimagine philanthropy by transforming the government into an active partner. Through the OBBBA Act, the tax system acts as an automatic matching mechanism, incentivizing donations from every citizen.
Your generosity, amplified by the state, creates compound kindness where it's needed most. This is the central idea powering Redona's mission for a more equitable future.
Redona's Logic: Adding to Multiply
Most people underestimate how much money the government owes them for their donations. They think it's "pocket change." They are wrong. Redona reveals the true value by combining two complementary fiscal forces:
Federal Tier
What the IRS returns to you from Washington
State Tier
What your state of residence returns to you
True Return
Between 30% and 45% total return depending on your location
When you add both marginal tiers, you discover that the true "discount" for a donation is not 0%, but can reach up to 45%.
The State Labyrinth: Simplified Complexity
The Challenge
The United States is a 50-piece fiscal puzzle. Calculating the federal return is easy, but each state has its own rules regarding "AGI Conformity."
Many assume that if something is federally deductible, it is also deductible in their state. The reality is much more complex.
Rolling Conformity
States that automatically follow current federal laws
Static Conformity
States anchored to federal codes from previous years (e.g., 2015)
Decoupling
States that completely disregard certain federal deductions
Redona's innovation: Our engine navigates each state's legislative exceptions to ensure accurate and secure calculations. You don't have to be a tax expert; we are for you.
The American "Gift Aid"
United Kingdom: Gift Aid
If you donate £100, the NGO can claim an extra £25 from the government. A direct and efficient subsidy.
United States: OBBBA + Redona
We don't have Gift Aid, but we have something potentially better: the tax system as your matching partner.
The People's Matching Gift
We don't need to wait for a corporation to match your donation. We make the Tax System act as your automatic matching partner.
We build infrastructure that transforms bureaucratic complexity into philanthropic liquidity.
The Compound Interest of Kindness
What happens when we apply this logic systematically? We create a revolutionary financial phenomenon in the third sector:
01
Seed Donation
You donate $1,000 at Christmas. That donation plants a fiscal seed that will germinate months later.
02
Tax Harvest
Months later, you recover $350 from the system. Redona harvests that $350 and automatically reinvests it.
03
Automatic Multiplication
We've created 35% extra impact out of nothing. For recurring donors, the effect is exponential.
The cost to the family is flat. The money the NGO receives grows exponentially. That is the Compound Interest of Kindness.
The May 1st Trigger: Intelligent Automation
Intentionality doesn't save lives; liquidity does. If the donor receives the refund check, that money will be diluted in household expenses. Friction kills philanthropy.
Redona eliminates friction with strategic automation at the perfect moment.
Tax Season
Donors file their tax returns and receive IRS refunds
May 1st: Maximum Liquidity
Most refunds are already deposited into bank accounts
Automatic Execution
Our technology moves money from the donor's account to the NGO
Closed Virtuous Cycle
Maximized impact without additional donor effort
Why May 1st? By that date, tax season has ended, and it's the moment of maximum liquidity for American households. Behavioral economics applied to the common good.
Open Source: A Standard for All
Redona.org does not want to be "just another donation platform" competing for market share. Redona is an Open Source concept. This logic should be an industry standard, not a proprietary product.
