For episode 131, we celebrate Giving Season with a special Giving Tuesday episode! We welcome five incredible leaders from the crypto giving movement to share how they are leveraging Web3 technology to revolutionize giving, including Robbie Heeger from Endaoment, Zoe Nawar of The Giving Block, Mitch from Giveth, Steven Aguiar from Givepact, and Chauncey St. John from Better Giving!

In episode 119, we’re excited to welcome Mitch, DAO Steward at Giveth, a community-driven movement to transform the way we fund nonprofits and social causes. We discuss how they are using Web3 tools to reimagine philanthropy and the donor experience, DAOs and Giveth’s “Decentralized Altruistic Community”, optimizing public goods funding with conviction voting and quadratic funding, and much more.

In episode 118, we’re excited to welcome G.D. Anderson, Founder of Honey Badges, an NFT community dedicated to funding changemakers. We discuss how Web3 will transform donor engagement, DAOs and the power of decentralized grant making, stories of impact from the grassroots changemakers they’ve supported, inclusion in Web3, and more.

The traditional donor-charity relationship is disempowering and desperately needs a rejuvenation. Individual donations are down, trust in charitable giving is waning, and nonprofits are struggling to connect with new donor demographics. Web3 can help shift the donor-charity relationship and empower donors to become active participants in causes.

In episode 114, we’re excited to welcome Alicia Cepeda Maule and Steven Aguiar of Givepact, a crypto philanthropy platform that allows individuals to support the causes they care about while joining a donor-led DAO. We discuss how Web3 can address the pain points felt by nonprofits, using proof of impact NFTs to recognize donors, the power of DAOs to build community and engage donors, and more.

Endaoment recently announced the unveiling of the first “Universal Impact Pool” (UIP), an innovative new fund which makes use of Gitcoin’s Quadratic Funding mechanism to distribute matching donations quarterly to nonprofits who receive donations or grants via Endaoment.

In episode 109, we’re excited to welcome Chauncey St. John, Founder of Angel Giving, a web3 platform with a mission to democratize access to growth funds for nonprofits. We discuss how Web3 can improve charitable giving tools, navigating the highs and lows of Web3, advice for nonprofits who are hesitant to engage with Web3, building through challenging times in the Web3 ecosystem, and much more.

Despite the growth of Web3 in recent years, many nonprofits still perceive it as inaccessible and are hesitant to get involved. This could be due to stigmas about Web3, feeling intimidated by the technology, or simply not seeing valuable use cases. Web3 is a generational technology for social impact, and it's crucial that we break down the barriers preventing nonprofits from engaging.

While crypto philanthropy presents an incredible opportunity to future-proof your organization's fundraising strategy, there are many other benefits to embracing Web3 including expanding your organization’s reach globally, forming new partnerships, and using blockchain technology to scale your organization’s impact.

Beyond crypto philanthropy, engaging with Web3 opens Nonprofits up to a world of possibilities to reach a global audience, to form key partnerships, and to use the power of blockchain technology to scale their impact. Nonprofits should get on board with Web3 now as early adopters to fully realize these benefits.

With the recent announcement of Endaoment making their developer tools available to the Web3 ecosystem, we dive into what this means for builders interested in adding giving capabilities to their projects, and how this exciting development will transform the crypto philanthropy movement.

For episode 79, we’re excited to welcome back Dae Moyer, Development Lead at Endaoment, the first tax-exempt community foundation providing philanthropic financial services on-chain. In this episode we discuss the importance of on-chain enabled transparency in charitable giving, the role of decentralized governance in philanthropy, and what the future of philanthropy will look like, in the year 2032, and the role that web3 will play in it.

In episode 76 we welcome Dave Grannan, Founder of DVL.DGS, an NFT project using the power of web3 to support veterans and service members in the areas of suicide prevention, homelessness, and more. In this episode we discuss how they are using NFTs to support these causes, how crypto and NFTs will positively disrupt charitable giving, DAOs and community governance, and much more!

DAOs have incredible potential to positively disrupt the non-profit sector, bringing greater transparency, accountability, and efficiency to traditional charitable organizations. With roughly 1.8 million non-profits in the US, and many built on antiquated structures, the space is ripe for disruption.

To celebrate the acquisition of the Giving Block by Shift 4, it was announced that they have launched a new matching program to drive crypto donations. The CEO of Shift4, Jared Isaacman, will be matching $10M in crypto donations made to non-profit organizations via The Giving Block.
