I’ve been thinking about how blockchain and digital technologies could create new ways for people to engage with organisations they care about. For me, this is less about crypto or technology itself, and more about the relationship between supporters and organisations.
Can philanthropy become more participatory, where people contribute not only money, but also ideas, expertise and networks?
And where can technology genuinely add value, rather than simply add complexity?
I’d be interested to hear how you see it.
We need to move from Web2 Philanthropy to Web3 Philanthropy! Partnering with Donors and supporters be more interactive and in the moment, without altering the organisation's response capacity or decision making. I want to see blockchain technology provide us with means to reach out to a maximum number of supporters in a timely fashion, and allow for immediate mobilisation when needed: how do we do that?
It's important that civilian protection keeps pace with how quickly technology is changing. The more people we can bring into the conversation and give opportunities to contribute (through donations, expertise or ideas) the better prepared we'll be for the challenges ahead.
