Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 102 - Community, collaboration, and impact with NFT Philanthropy
In episode 102, we’re excited to dive into a great case study of NFT philanthropy, and welcome three incredible guests to share their story. First, there is Katie Hultquist, Director of Leadership Giving at Outright International, an international charitable organization dedicated to advancing LGBTIQ rights all over the world. Second, there is Jeres, an incredibly talented generative artist. And finally, we’re excited to welcome Alfredo Asuzano, Core Team at fxhash, an open platform for creating and collecting generative art on the Tezos blockchain. In this episode we learn about their collaborative NFT project that raised funds and awareness for Outright International, how NFTs can be a powerful force for social impact, how Web3 can benefit social causes, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
NFT Philanthropy can enable win-win-win partnerships between artists, Nonprofits, and Web3 protocols, giving them the ability to raise funds and awareness, and connect with new audiences.
The real value in NFT philanthropy campaigns comes not from the funds raised, but the partnerships created, and the new supporters onboarded to the cause.
NFT Philanthropy allows Nonprofits to create personal connections with donors in ways that traditional donation methods cannot. It creates new opportunities for causes to create lifelong supporters and advocates.
