-## What is Council?
 
-Council is an innovative system designed to democratize and streamline the process of allocating grants or funds within an organization. It's like a digital roundtable where designated council members can collaboratively decide how to distribute resources to various projects or individuals (called grantees).

+
+CouncilHaus enables organizations with a set budget to allocate funds continuously among grantees. Council members vote to decide how the budget is distributed dynamically, ensuring efficient use of resources, reducing administrative overhead, and allowing real-time adjustments to meet evolving needs.
