Exploring AI & Web3? We help Nonprofits make sense of it.
AI and blockchain are reshaping how mission-driven organizations fundraise, operate, protect data, and prove their impact. But where do you start?
Web3 is an opportunity
AI and Web3 can help your organization work better, raise funds faster, and create more impact with less. Or they can quietly drain time, money, and focus. There are two paths, and a lot of hype and complexity between you and the right one.
That's where we come in.
At Crypto Altruists, we work with nonprofits and impact organizations to cut through that noise and find practical ways to use AI and Web3 that actually support their mission.
Get clear on what to adopt, what to avoid, and what rules your team needs. We help you write AI use policies your staff will actually follow, set data and privacy guardrails, and brief your board on risk in plain language.
Fundraising & Funding
Open the door to crypto and stablecoin giving in a way that suits your finance team, and use AI to lighten the load on grant writing, donor research, and reporting, with a human firmly in the loop.
Operations, Data & Privacy
Find real time savings so you can focus on impact, not administration. We help you put AI to work on the admin that's eating your week, and use blockchain for verification and audit trails without putting client information at risk.
Training & Team Capability
The biggest barrier to adopting AI and Web3 is training, not tools. We explain these technologies in plain language, showing where they can help and where they fall short, so you and your team can move forward confidently and safely.
A closer look at each area
Get clear on what to adopt, what to avoid, and what protocols your team needs. We help you write sensible AI use policies your staff will actually follow, set data and privacy guardrails, and brief your board on risk in plain language.
Strategy, Policy, & Governance
Responsible AI use policy: We help develop practical AI policies covering approved tools, data use, disclosure, and oversight, aligned with your existing policies and tailored to your organization's needs.
Board and leadership briefings: Board buy-in is essential to successful technology adoption. We help educate your board in plain language, build confidence, and ensure they understand the risks and opportunities to make informed decisions.
Data protection and consent review: We dig into how AI use intersects with your privacy policies, your funder agreements, and your duty of care to the people you serve.
Vendor and tool due diligence: Choosing the right tools can be daunting. We help vet trusted AI vendors and Web3 projects, put data protection safeguards in place, and ensure you ask the right questions about security, audits, custody, and track record.
Web3 strategy and advisory: We offer clear, realistic guidance on crypto donations, decentralized funding, and transparency tools
Fundraising & Funding
Crypto and stablecoin giving setup: We get you set up with the right tools and protocols: wallets, custody, conversion policy, receipting, and accounting treatment, all sized to your organization.
AI-assisted grant writing and reporting: We work with organizations to develop workflows that cut drafting time substantially while keeping your voice and your accuracy.
Donor research and segmentation: We help you apply best practices for using AI to better understand donor behaviour and engagement patterns using the data you already have, while respecting privacy and staying within boundaries your donors would be comfortable with.
Impact measurement and M&E support: Funder reporting requirements can be complex and time consuming. We help clients use AI to measure impact, assess trends, and develop reports that accurately portray program impact while respecting client data.
Funder AI disclosure: More grantmakers and donors are asking how organizations use AI. We help you answer those questions with confidence, clarity, and transparency.
Operations, Data, & Privacy
Workflow automation that respects the human parts: We believe the goal is to give staff their week back, not to remove people from relationships.
Privacy-preserving blockchain integration: We help clients incorporate verifiable records, transparent fund flows, and tamper-evident audit trails, designed so that no personal or beneficiary information ever touches a public ledger.
Transparent funding rails: We help you show donors where money went in a way that is provable.
Cross-border payments: Waiting days or weeks for funds to arrive can place a significant burden on organizations and the communities they serve. We help teams implement tools that move funds faster and more affordably than traditional payment rails, whether to field teams, vendors, or partners, with compliance considerations addressed upfront.
Data hygiene: the unglamorous prerequisite. AI built on messy data produces confident nonsense. We help you organize your data and implement data hygiene protocols so your team can trust the data they work with and the insights it generates.
Training & Team Capability
Web3 and AI foundations workshops: We offer bespoke workshops so your team understands clearly what these technologies are, how they work, and what's relevant to their organization; all in plain english and without the jargon.
Hands-on AI sessions by role: Whether it's fundraising, communications, program delivery, or finance, different roles need different tools. We offer hands-on support to help your team implement new tools and make sure they're actually working for you, not creating more headaches.
Security and scam awareness: Your team is your first line of defence. We help ensure they understand the risks and have the right safeguards in place to manage them, from phishing and impersonation to malicious contracts, deepfake voices, and videos.
Community and engagement: We help teams explore new ways to connect with supporters and build long-term engagement.
There are more than 10 million nonprofits in the world. Each is unique.
Every nonprofit is unique, with its own communities, clients, and operating environment. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to AI and Web3, and not every tool or use case is right for every organization.
We start by understanding your organization's biggest challenges and identifying where these technologies can address real needs, not just introduce new tools for the sake of it.
Why Work With Us?
Drew Simon has spent over a decade working with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, helping them navigate funding, strategy, and digital transformation. He started Crypto Altruists after noticing the same pattern play out again and again. A genuinely useful technology arrives. The noise around it drowns out the practical uses. And the organizations that would benefit most are the ones left out of the conversation.
That was true of blockchain. It's true of AI now. We've been covering both on the blog and the podcast since long before either was on most nonprofits' radar, and the approach hasn't changed. Understand the tool honestly. Find where it fits your work. Say so clearly when it doesn't.
Today we work with nonprofits and impact organizations on both, through hands-on advisory, policy development, workshops, and educational content. The goal is always the same: tools that support your mission instead of distracting from it.
