The Steem Dream & Paying it Forward - ANNOUNCEMENT & OFFICIAL RULES
We all have goals. Have you ever been given a gift toward those goals or to an extent to achieve them outright? What a feeling! It is with this thought I propose the following...
The Steem Dream & Paying it Forward
I firmly believe Steemit is hands-down the best social platform on the web. In my limited time here I have read articles and witnessed kindness of others that surpasses anything I have heard of in person. Especially when you consider we are strangers gifting strangers! I want to try and take this to the next level and bypass the Minnow / Whale barrier on exposure and gifting.
The Concept
Share a goal, a project, or a wish of yours that is obtainable through donations from those who wish to help you on it. In short, something that our gifts of money will allow you to get or do. Include the estimated amount of money needed for this goal. This will allow us to pay forward the most users as possible.
Write a post telling us what it is and why you want to accomplish it. Tag your post with SteemDreamPayFwd so that others can see all running posts and vote and contribute.
Make "SteemDreamPayFwd" your primary category!
Official Rules & Terms
- You must re-gift at least 25% of the Steem dollars (SBD) you receive to another project within 1 week of your payout. In the event no other projects are running, gift your 25% to a Steemit user of your choice.
- You may contribute to more than one project, but the total transferred from your account must be at least 25% of your SBD payout from your project post.
- You must comment on your post, the total amount of SBD received from your project.
- You must comment on your post, when you transfer your SBD to another project, stating the amount and the recipient. A link to their project post would be helpful.
- Use the Memo "SteemDreamPayFwd" when transferring funds to users so they will know why they received it.
- If you receive a transfer for your project, comment on your post with the amount and who it was from.
- Write a thank you post when your goal or steps towards your goal are reached. Put a link to this post as a comment on your original project post -- do not post this thank you to the SteemDreamPayFwd category!
- Only one project post per user, per month. Be Honest!
While this is initially a creation of my own, it is my desire that this becomes a community project and evolves over time to fit the needs of us all. Your suggestions on how to make this better are welcomed and appreciated!
I'm Ready to Pay it Forward!
I will contribute at least 75% SBD from this post to projects that are posted. I am not doing this to make big bucks. I want to showcase the awesomeness of this community. If this post goes wild, my contributions will go wild too!
Hold your project post until this post pays out! I cannot donate what I don't yet have! I suggest a post date of 6/30/2017 -- one week from today.
I will fund the person(s) I pick on July 7, 2017. Feel free to upvote or support those you wish to help in the meantime. If you transfer funds, include #steemdreampayfwd in the Memo. If you receive funds, reply to your post with the amount and who it was from. Remember Rule #1 when you are gifted.
Spread the word!
Resteem this to spread the word about this project! Without YOU this will not take off!

Welcome to Steemit @greenacrehome!
I'm a bot-helper, and I'm created to help. Congratulations on the registration on Steem - you really like it here! If you like me, make an upvote of my comment and follow me. Your upvote will allow you to give more money to new users, such as you. Let's make Steem better together!
I follow you, and to get more upvote and resteem - follow me!
All the money I earn will be donated to charity.
Steem on!
What a great idea! I've upvoted & resteemed. I don't have much to contribute (yet) but I'm all in! I'm loving the digital altruism. Do you have a due date for submissions for the first #SteemDreamPayFwd, or will this be a constantly-revolving thing? I do better with firm deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make when they go by ;)
I suggest a project post date of one week from today -- 6/30/2017.
Good point! I would suggest waiting until after this initial post finishes to submit your project as I have to let the SBD from this post clear to then donate to you all! I will update the post above to state this great point.
Good Idea. I had a similar idea and Sometime ago I wrote a story about my dad's plan to pay for my education with technology (Bitcoin & steem). If You Could Read it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@becky.rac/why-does-jeff-always-say-things-like-this-to-my-dad you could see it.
This Act Of Kindness Is Wonderful And Beautiful ! It Makes Me Feel Good To Know That There Are Good And Positive People Still In This World That Want To Help Others ! Let Love Magnified A THOUSAND TIMES AROUND THE WORLD ! Life Is Good, Love Is Great ! Good Work @greenacrehome
This is a really great idea and I have a project that I've been slowly working on that would be perfect for this.
Prepare thyself. :) One week from today... post it!
This is still going to take place! Even though the payout on the announcement is low, I will try and fund someone myself!!! Post your goals today! Be sure to use the #Steemdreampayfwd tag!!!
Hi I'm new. I'm unclear as to what you mean by goal. Do you mean a personal goal , or is it mainly a charity based goal ? I was hoping you could clarify in the concept of goal for this particular event.
Think of it as a having money dedicated to doing something you've wanted or needed but otherwise couldn't do for lack of money. It's kind of open ended. Whatever works, works. :)
Okay cool. Just wanted to make sure I understood
Be sure to resteem this to spread the word!

This is by far the best idea according to me to support small fish like me to achieve the goals: Like SteemitFest in Agra and Steemit Accelerators in India!
I would love to dedicate my time 50 hours a week to steemit and its promotion and new ideas that can evolve the community! :) Thanks to you @greenacrehome
Great to hear! Be sure to resteem this to spread the word. Be working on your Project Post (if you have one), to post in one week--6/30/2017

I'm having trouble finding other steemdreampayfwd posts.... how do I find these things?!?!
This sounds interesting. I do not blog or produce videos and don't have a project I need support for right now. I'd rather see some of the others' projects and support them.
You can still help! Be sure to resteem so your followers will see this post. Thanks!
I was just thinking about this today - creating a post to give it a shout-out! I haven't come up with any interesting project ideas, sorry 😟 I am so behind on everything this week!
