Techis, I think this is a wonderful idea you have. Might I suggest two or three things:
First, if it is a charity, I would suggest doing a video interview with them, so people can see how real the charity is.
Second, sign a contract stating what you are doing with the representative of the charity, that way there is a legal basis for it. (Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork)
Third, once you have the contract and approval, publish any public info on the charity, so people can look it up.
Once you cover those three aspects, there is a higher probability that people won't think it's a scam, since it's all in the up and up.
Topic: Looking for advice on a fun/charity project - page 2. (Read 340 times)
Hello,
I'm about 50% through putting together a small project and am looking for some advice on challenges i'm having.
The project is sort of a "fun" little program that will benefit myself, my team, and primarily a local charity. I own a Lamborghini (not purchased with crypto sadly) and had the idea to sell advertising space on it given that Lambos are very popular in the crypto space. In the interest of brevity, i'll spare you the hard details, but the basic overview:
We've set up a website and several social channels to run a contest, wherein people will "vote" on which cryptocurrency to wrap the car in. Participants will send any amount of ETH to an address corresponding to the crypto of their choice. After a set period of time, the wallet holding the most ETH will be declared the winner. A design will be created, submitted to the community for approval, and then the car will be wrapped in the design. Professional photos/video will be taken and provided to the community/internet to promote that coin.
Those are
the basics, now for some light detail:
As I mentioned, this program's goal is for fun, profit for myself and my team, and charity. 60% of the total funds (over the minimum amount) will benefit the charity. The remainder will benefit the team and myself. I have detailed everything on our site, and have made it a point to be very transparent. Here in lies the big challenge I feel I will be facing -- confidence.
With a new scam popping up every day, I feel our biggest hurdle is going to be instilling confidence in participants. While I can promise all day that i'm going to fund the charity, my team, and actually wrap the car - people will have no hard assurances that I will. I've worked into the program regular video updates, my face, and am scheduled to meet with the charity for a short interview. Still, I dont feel its quite enough to drive the point home.
We've made it abundantly clear that all donations to the addresses are final, with no refunds, and that no one will have any expectation of receiving goods, services, or credit for a charitable contribution. Again, keeping things absolutely transparent.
Also for the sake of transparency, we will have a minimum amount that must be reached cumulatively across all the wallets. Both to cover expenses of wrapping the car, some of the team's labor time, and a minimum donation to the charity. Should the minimum not be met, we will simply send all the funds received to the charity.
I think i've covered all the bases, just hung up on what else I can do to really drive the point home that i'm on the up and up. I'd really love to see this program work out. I think it's pretty fun, has a lot of potential to bring hype to one coin's community, make money for myself and my team, and mostly to see money going to charity (its an animal-based charity by the way). The idea is if it blows up, we repeat it in the future. Maybe i'll get a tattoo next time? Who knows!
Any advice or guidance is appreciated. Further, if there are any paragons of the cryptosphere who would add confidence to the program simply by being part of the team, we would love to have you aboard and we would do all the heavy lifting. Thank you for reading.
