Three Key Takeaways

  • One of the key benefits of engaging with crypto giving is the opportunity to connect with a new generation of donors around the world who are generous and passionate about giving.
  • Web3 is helping make important philanthropic tools, like endowments, donor advised funds, and non-cash assets, accessible to all nonprofits regardless of their size and expertise. Traditionally, these tools have only been accessible to larger nonprofits that have the resources and expertise to dedicate to them, but Web3 is breaking down these barriers to access.
  • One of the most exciting aspects of crypto philanthropy is the creation of new ways to incentivize giving and make it more fun. This includes leveraging Quadratic Funding, introducing rewards for donors, bringing donations on chain, and more!
