When you donate to verified projects you qualify to receive GIV tokens. Through GIVbacks, GIV empowers donors with governance rights via the GIVgarden.
Each GIVbacks round lasts two weeks. After the End Date, the GIV Allocated to that round is distributed to Givers who donated to verified projects during the round. Projects must apply for verification at least 1 week prior to the Start Date in order to be included in the round.
