Topic: Non-Profit Blockchain Based Charity (Read 2049 times)
This is a good idea and having project that supports Nor government organization or nor profits organizations is nice and will help the less privilege in our society. Many of us like op has been looking for ways of earning bitcoin but to no avail until getting to this forum and if we would have a system that will surport others, good for us.
Hey,
This seems to be an interesting project. I am interested in helping since it already enfocuses one of my missions for my new token. I'm sure all you want to do is possible through a web platform like the one being built for TokenArt. The only thing is figuring a way to properly exchange your service to cash for the non profit uses. I have a few ideas that might just work, feel free to send me a private message.

I would gladly support! 
How do you see the future of the project?
Well I have not formed a team that I am comfortable working with yet so right now the future is up in the air. If I can find a dev or two as well as a solid team that is interested in developing the project I will be happy to move forward.

How do you make money off this Non-Profit Charity?
The point is to be able to pass through as much of a donation as possible. Not profit from donations.

Never got a chance to put a good team together so it is still on the back burner. If you have some ideas or are interested in helping get it off the ground, I would be open to discussing it for sure.
charity and blockchain, my two favorite subjects!

Score is mostly retired old-timers, not so crypto friendly. However, you might try finding a mentor via online channels--there are some mentors that will be more crypto friendly than you'll find locally.
This is great! We love to see more people and projects supporting social good and charitable giving. We've created Grant Hero, a platform that enables donors to create and award direct personal grants for complete autonomy and transparency. Additionally, the GIVE Coin, a cryptonized asset based upon ETH ERC20 that anchors giving data direct to the blockchain. Our goal is to create an ecosystem of partners, merchants, and foundations that accept the GIVE Coin as a method of payment / donation as well.

I was waiting long time for this idea to come to life. The world needs charity on blockchain, ironical it is hard to profit from it, that is why it hasn't yet been done. I am definitely a supporter, let us know if you need any help 
Sorry I don't hang out on here much.
BitGive has been around for 4 years and as a startup has evolved a lot over time.
The short answer is that when we did charity campaigns, we had separate wallets for them and 100% of the funds went to them. BitGive has it's own wallet as well and people can contribute to our org to keep it going!
Now and for the past few years, we have been 100% focused on building GiveTrack, which is a donation platform on the blockchain to allow charities to share financial transparency with their donors. We are working hard on the MVP and hope to release it soon.
Please find out more on our website https://bitgivefoundation.org/. We are a small team and need to stay focused on our mission and don't spend much time here.
Thanks! Connie

I think these are some great points being raised, thank you very much for sharing. It is by no means a perfect, or even complete, idea but I knew I would get better feedback here than my local SCORE.
I just feel that the voting thing is possibly over-complicating the issue. Do supporters really need to make management decisions by voting? I don't know.
While the decision of what charity to choose is down to the user, the charity will never have the exact thing that they want. It's a bit like democracy - you could become a representative if you wanted, but most people will instead support whoever most closely aligns themselves with their views even if the two differ on some minor issues.With a charity, which is a voluntary contribution, it's nice for people to feel that they have control over the charity - it's like a direct democracy. No one actually has to vote, it's just a useful option and then if you didn't vote, there's no point in complaining about where your contribution went.
I was directed here. Here is a topic I posted regarding a similar idea. The theme being transparency/accountability in regards to crowd funding and investing.
1) Anyone who contributes, regardless of contribution size, would be eligible to vote on a monthly basis as to which cause the monthly accrued contributions would go to. I would like to find a way for those votes to be documented on the blockchain as well so everything is transparent.
2) For those not interested in a voting based system, they could just contribute and note what cause they would like to contribution to go to. I feel the initial question to this statement would be "Why wouldn't we just contribute directly to the cause we wanted instead of a pass-through organization?" To that question I have several responses and I would be happy to get into them if you care enough to respond to this thread.
As a non-believer in politics, I hate the idea of voting to decide how funds are spent.
Charity by nature is a voluntary contribution, whereas something like welfare is not. Voting in Democracy is there to hide and confuse the reality that it is just majority rule.
If people are already contributing to your charity, they are simply voting with their Dollars or Bitcoins.
The point of transparency is to enable people to make better decisions. If they support you financially it's because they like the cause and trust you. If you make poor decisions and squander their money, they can just stop contributing and transparency allows them to evaluate that easily.

Hi Dr Charles, great idea, I personally appreciate your effort and your vision.
I'd like to inform you that even in Italy there is a startup called Helperbit that has the aim to bring transparency and efficiency in the charity and humanitarian sector using blockchain and bitcoin.
Legambiente, a famous Italian NGO, is the first big non profit organization in that country to accept bitcoin donations and to use the multisignature wallet provided by the startup.
They started a crowdfunding campaign to help local young entrepreneurs affected by the earthquake in Central Italy and at the moment they raised more than 9.5 bitcoin, autonomously managing the bitcoin wallet and offering full transparency of the economic flows. Everybody can see how much they received and how they spent the funds because Helperbit developed also a tool to notarize documents in the blockchain, linking the invoices to each transaction that the NGO makes.
At the moment Helperbit is looking for more non profit organizations that want to be transparent (Link here)

Open source makes sense to me... especially with the initial thought of the project looking to get started with little to no capital expenditure other than the legal filings and website. The blockchain application would require the most work and that is where my weakest point would be.
