Web3 opens the door to a world of new possibilities for nonprofits, impacting everything from fundraising to organizational governance. In this infographic, we highlight five of the most compelling use cases for how nonprofits can leverage cryptocurrency tools to grow their impact, connecting with new donors, and future proof their mission.

Blockchain Use Cases for Nonprofit Organizations

Fundraising

Web3 unlocks faster, more cost-effective borderless donations, whether through crypto, NFTs, or quadratic funding. Nonprofits are reaching younger, global donors and raising funds without banks, delays, or high fees. It's a more direct way to grow impact.

Impact Verification

Impact data now lives onchain—verifiable, transparent, and hard to fake. From satellite-confirmed reforestation to tokenized outcomes, nonprofits can show funders exactly what they achieved, building trust and improving decisions.

Impact Tokenization

Social outcomes such as clean water access or school enrollment can now be represented as digital tokens. This opens new funding models, aligns incentives, and makes success trackable, tradable, and rewardable.

Decentralized Governance

With DAOs and onchain voting, NGOs can share power with their communities. Whether allocating funds or co-designing programs, decentralized governance can increase transparency and participation.

Aid & Cash Transfers

Smart contracts automate aid with no middlemen. Funds reach people faster—triggered by real-world data like storms or droughts. Every transaction is recorded, reducing fraud and boosting accountability in crisis response.
