Unlocking treasure KC: your comprehensive guide
How the whole treasure KC system works (simple)
Membership options (optional)
• Base membership: $14.99/month — member-only savings/perks at KC merchants + access to the Treasure KC experience.
• Navigator plus: $21.99/month — everything in Base, plus priority support and guided access to nonprofit partners for help navigating bill negotiation, rent/utility hardship enrollment, and payment plan setup.
Rewards program structure
• Treasure drops (during the week): community supply/support drops that happen throughout the week.
• Weekly treasure (weekly drawing): structured weekly rewards — currently up to 5 winners each week.
• Treasure impacts (monthly drawing): the biggest monthly rewards that grow as the ecosystem grows — currently 1 winner each month.
Ways to participate (including without buying a membership)
• You can participate in the Rewards Program through the methods listed in the Official Rules.
• Online entry: submit an entry using the online entry form during the posted Entry Period.
• Mail-in entry: send a hand-printed 3x5 card with the required information to the posted address by the stated deadlines.
• Entry limit: 1 entry per person per day total across all entry methods (online + mail). Extra entries are void.
How winners are chosen + what happens next
• Winners are selected by random drawing from all eligible entries for that Entry Period.
• Winners are notified and must respond within the stated timeframe and complete verification (age/residency/identity + any required tax forms). If not completed, the reward may be forfeited and an alternate selected.
Community voting + community funding (separate from drawings)
• Voting is for verified, active members in good standing (when voting is open).
• Members vote to rank choices and select a Top 5.
• The final funded winner is then chosen by a random drawing from that Top 5, with oversight from a 5-member governance board.
• Results and simple outcome updates are shared so the community can see what was funded and what changed.
How the rules apply
• The Official Rules control eligibility, entry methods, entry limits, Entry Period timing, winner selection, verification, and integrity rules (anti-fraud/automation).
• Membership explains savings and paid platform features. Voting applies to community funding decisions. Drawings apply to rewards selection.
