# Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)

## The Concept

**Unconditional Basic Income** is a form of income that presupposes that a group of people has access, unconditionally, to sufficient recurring income to escape extreme conditions. It is a program in which every beneficiary receives a set amount of money regularly to improve life and financial autonomy.

impactMarket platform is an **open, free, crowd finance infrastructure** that allows anyone to support UBI programs by donating Celo Dollars (cUSD) to vulnerable communities in a transparent way, intermediaries-free (e.g.: no banks), instantly, and almost free of charge, regardless of country.
