I think they can, depending on how the system is designed. People already contribute their time, energy and resources to causes they care about. The problem is that many of those contributions are difficult to sustain when the person giving is constantly running at a loss.
Causevest takes a different approach. The goal isn’t to put a price on kindness or turn every good deed into a transaction. It’s to create an ecosystem where people who help meaningful causes gain recognition and rewards for the value they bring.
If someone spends their time discovering a cause, bringing attention to it or helping it reach the people who can support it, that contribution shouldn’t simply disappear.
When the system gives people a reason to keep contributing, positive impact has a better chance of becoming sustainable.
So perhaps the question isn’t whether incentives ruin kindness. Maybe it’s whether the right incentives can help kindness last longer.
