CouncilHaus enables organizations with a set budget to allocate funds continuously among grantees. Council members vote to decide how the budget is distributed dynamically, ensuring efficient use of resources, reducing administrative overhead, and allowing real-time adjustments to meet evolving needs.

1. Participatory Decision Making: Council members actively decide how funds are distributed, fostering a more inclusive allocation process.
2. Flexible Allocation: Members can allocate their voting power across multiple grantees, supporting various projects as they see fit.
3. Transparent Process: All allocations and decisions are recorded, providing a clear and auditable trail of fund distribution.
4. Managed Access: The system includes roles for administering members and grantees, maintaining control over who can participate.
5. Automatic Distribution: Once allocations are decided, the system automatically handles the distribution of funds to grantees.

1. Council Formation: Administrators can add council members, assigning them voting power based on their role or expertise.
2. Grantee Registration: Potential fund recipients (grantees) are added to the system.
3. Budget Allocation: Council members use their voting power to allocate funds to grantees they wish to support.
4. Automatic Distribution: Once allocations are set, the system takes care of distributing the funds according to the council's decisions.

CouncilHaus brings several benefits to organizations looking to manage grant or fund allocation:

• Participation: Encourages active involvement by recognizing and rewarding contributions, creating a more engaged, motivated, and thriving community.
• Flexibility: Council members can easily adjust their allocations, responding to changing needs or priorities.
• Efficiency: The automated distribution system reduces administrative overhead.
• Transparency: All decisions are recorded, promoting trust and accountability.

Whether you're a company, a DAO interested in funding an ecosystem of contributors, a public-goods organization, or any entity that needs to manage collective fund allocation, CouncilHaus offers a modern, flexible, and efficient solution to empower your team and streamline grant-giving. For instance, Superfluid has used CouncilHaus to reward ecosystem contributors in an ongoing hackathon, with demo days every two weeks.
