Who can do this?
All signed-in accounts see goals and donate. The team creates the goals.
Community goals
With community goals, everyone supports a shared goal with Bookworms; rank tiers show participation without amounts.
What is it for?
The “Community Goals” overview in the progress hub lists the active goals. A click opens the detail page with the title, a description, a progress bar (“{current} / {target} Bookworms”), the “Donate” form and the “Rank tiers”. If no goals are active, it says “No active community goals right now.”
Under “Donate” you enter an amount and choose “Donate”. On success, “Donation recorded.” appears and the bar and rank tiers reload. The amount is deducted from your balance and listed in the history as “Donation to community goal”. A donation cannot be undone.
The rank tiers show which display names have reached which tier. The page does not show exact amounts per person. Once a goal is reached, participants can receive a reward, for example a time-limited badge that appears in your inventory as “Community goal reward”.

Your data
Illumentis stores your donations. The rank tiers name display names per tier but show no amounts. So if you donate, you appear in a tier under your display name.
Limits
A donation is at least 1 and at most 1,000,000 Bookworms. Donations are limited by frequency, and only open goals accept donations. A donation cannot be undone. At the moment, Illumentis hands out a time-limited badge to participants as the reward; other kinds of reward are only prepared.
Frequently asked questions
Can others see how much I have donated?
No, only your tier. The rank tiers show display names per tier, not amounts.
Can I get a donation back?
No.
What do I get for a donation?
If the goal reaches its target, participants can receive a reward, such as a time-limited badge. It appears in your inventory as “Community goal reward”.
