Hi buwaytree,
thank you for commenting.
Read the first post and then decided to look a bit down the path, the idea was probably very original at the time of posting. Must admit I'm surprised to see how far it has come. From website, I see a lot of awards but not a single organisation mentioned? Perhaps these partnerships are yet to begin?
In our blog you can find all the announcements of new partnerships. Recently we partned up with The Rock Trading and Mistral Pay and the tool that allows people to donate with credit and debit card is already active here:
https://helperbit.com/donateit; while the partnership with Flyp.me has been announced in both our social media channels.
In the non-profit sector, Legambiente is the only NGO that has an active project, but other NGOs has access to our platform (now in private mode) and will launch soon their projects/fundraisings.
What is most interesting was the blog post regarding your work in the wake of the recent Italian earthquake. My commendations, by the way! But what I would like to know more here.
Are you able to provide more information on the Legambiente case study? I come from a non-profit career, working especially in natural disaster and conflict. Especially directly on the ground in the early days of the emergency, most organisations suffer from poor accountability. This is most painfully apparent months and years after the operation, when donors are demanding for accurate and transparent accounting and reporting - which most local standards fail to meet.
You can find more info about our case study with Legambiente in our blog:
Helperbit supports Legambiente to raise funds for the earthquake reconstruction;
Norcia protagonist of transparency;
A step towards transparency and an help for Alessia.
This is the official charity campaign lead by Legambiente (in Italian)
http://rinascitacuoregiovane.it and this is their announcement when we started the collaboration:
http://rinascitacuoregiovane.it/oggi-le-donazioni-bitcoin-grazie-alla-startup-italiana-helperbit/I agree with your vision. Your experience in non-profit sector highlights many problems and I think that they could be faced thanks to blockchain technology.
Are you someone I could contact for more info? We can follow this up in PM, if you prefer.
