Welcome to the Future of Giving

The Giveth Matching Pool is raising funds for future donation matching to verified projects on Giveth! It is a one-stop-shop for donors who want to ensure their donation has a broad impact.Our vision for the Future of Giving is a world in which giving is effortless and people are rewarded for making positive change. Give to donation.eth, make a difference for public goods, and get rewarded with GIVbacks.Donations to this project as well as funds sent directly to the donation.eth multisig on Mainnet or Gnosis Chain are eligible for GIVbacks. In both cases, 100% of the funds collected will be distributed to verified projects on Giveth. Note: only donations in tokens on the GIVbacks token list are eligible for GIVbacks.The donation.eth multisig is a 7/15 multisig managed by core Giveth team members. Once we have reached our goal of $500,000 we will begin to distribute the funds to verified projects on Giveth at the end of each 2-week donation round.The intention of the raise goal is to ensure we have enough funds to provide significant matching ($10-20k) every 2 weeks for a full year (26 total rounds). The exact details of how the donations will be distributed are to-be-determined. If you want to help us design the system for allocating these matching funds, please weigh-in with your comments in our forum. We’ll keep you posted with the results in project updates!Note: We are not matching funds to this project, we are using these funds to provide additional funding to other verified projects.

EVMcrispr is a tool that simplifies interacting with smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains. It allows users to send transactions using intuitive, UNIX-like commands, making it easier to write complete scripts that encode complex transactions. This comprehensive tool can be used to improve almost all day-to-day blockchain operations, such as:Creating more efficient Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) votes.Launching DAOs and managing their configuration.Performing DeFi strategies.Running simulations on drafted on-chain actions.Creating, sending and managing tokens.EVMcrispr effectively reduces the technical hurdles for web3 users to engage and carry out complex tasks using smart contracts. For instance, our domain-specific language is handy for expressing and transforming transaction data. In addition, we can combine different commands, so we can insert the command for managing Superfluid flows within the command to make an Aragon DAO vote or the command of sending a Giveth donation within the command to bridge tokens to the Gnosis Chain.It feels like modifying DNA when changing many parameters of a DAO all at once or when performing complex deployments that we must do in one transaction. EVMcrispr is the smart-contract gene-editing tool that has reduced the cost of operating DAOs and other blockchain protocols by orders of magnitude.It has been used by organizations such as Curve, Aragon, NFTX, 1Hive, Giveth, TECommons, BrightId and Agave to conduct complex votes within their DAOs.The tool has a terminal-like interface but clear documentation with many examples, making it easy to start.By supporting the ongoing development and maintenance of EVMcrispr, Giveth donors can help to advance cutting edge blockchain technology and to enable the creation of more powerful and practical applications on EVM-based networks, such as Ethereum Mainnet and Gnosis Chain.You can find the source code in this 1hive repository under the GPLv3 license.

Iran is in turmoil.Protests are breaking out all over the country, despite the fact that protesters are regularly arrested, tortured and too often die while in custody. There are so many arrests by plainclothes police officers that kidnappings are starting to happen in daylight and people simply assume it is the police. It is frankly unsafe to be in Iran right now, especially if you are in web3.Iranian tech leaders are routinely arrested and jailedThe internet has been heavily censored. Iran is using a system similar to what China uses to censor the internet, except they are being much more brutal with the enforcement related to maintaining it.Most developers working in the web3 space must use a VPN, ssh tunneling or Starlink to access the international services they need to do their job, and in doing so they are breaking laws and are at risk of being arrested. Activists in the space are especially at risk, Hossein Ronagi and Amir Emad Mirmirani (Jadi) can be mentioned as examples.Hossein RonaghiㅡA young engineer in charge of the anti-censorship committee in Iran (IranProxy) has been arrested and jailed several times. He recently escaped the clutches of plainclothes agents who broke into his home. Unfortunately, he was later arrested and unjustly imprisoned. Amir Emad Mirmirani aka Jadiㅡ A programmer and technology promoter in Iran, as well as the founder of Radio Gig Podcast has prepared thousands of hours of free online training courses for anyone interested in programming and free open-source software. He has also been one of the opponents of censorship and internet restrictions in Iran and has informed people about the issue. Jadi was abducted from his home by plainclothes agents on October 5 of this year. Zia Sadrㅡ An Iranian blockchain evangelist and lecturer was arrested and jailed late this summer. UPDATE (Dec 19, 2022)All three of the above tech leaders have been recently released. 🎉 International relations are getting worse.Recently Nazanin Boniadi pleaded to the UN for support and declared the current regime to be not reformable, thus implying that the only solution is to remove the current government.And soon after US President, Joe Biden said, “Don’t worry, we’re gonna free Iran, they're going to free themselves pretty soon.” These are worrying times.With the general distaste for the Iranian government growing within and external to Iran, the chances of a violent revolution / civil war erupting are rising every day. This could lead to the boarders being closed and our web3 colleagues being trapped in a bad situation.It is difficult for Iranians to travel. Not only are there visa issues, but also there are social and economic issues to be considered as well.This grant hopes to alleviate the economic burden and create a supportive social network of web3 Iranians in Istanbul.We will reimburse the flights and lodging for them and their immediate family to encourage them to flee for safety before it is too late. We will also help them book accommodation their access to international banking infrastructure is obviously limited.We have helped 2 web3 community members escape Iran already and they are currently searching for a nice neighborhood in Istanbul. When they have chosen on one, we will bring as many people as possible to stay close together, so they can have regular gatherings and build strong relationships in these troubling times.Turkey only offers Iranians 90 day visas. After our community members have been there 2 months, if the situation does not seem to be getting better, we will help them find another country to go to.Maybe nothing will happen and things will calm down. This is our hope, we would excitedly take down this project, and the web3 community members that left for Turkey could return home to their local community with new friends. If this happens unused donations will be sent to donation.eth (Giveth Matching Pool).All expenditures will be documented in the updates of this project.We will make every effort to protect the identity of the web3 community members that are in Iran, many are pseudonymous and could lose their jobs if their employers find out where they live. We appreciate this and will use an encrypted form to take applications and while doing our due diligence to confirm that applicants for this subsidy work in web3 we will in no way hint to their employers that they are from Iran. We will also make sure we send reimbursement funds to a fresh Ethereum address as opposed to their public/ens address.If you are a web3 community member currently in Iran, please stay safe and consider if you can do more to support the people of Iran outside the country, than you can do protesting inside the country. If you would appreciate support in leaving the country, we are here to help! Please use this encrypted form to apply.https://form.jotform.com/223058111377047

Welcome to the Giveth House! 🦄A beautiful home, office, and community space located in Barcelona. The Giveth House has been available since 2017 to accommodate the greater Giveth community. When Giveth was founded in 2016, we knew it would be important to have a physical space to help facilitate the growth of Giveth. We also wanted the Giveth house to give the greater Web3 community a real location for events, gatherings, coworking, hack sessions and just a place to rest your weary head.Why Barcelona? Impassioned by first hand experiences of the Catalan struggle for independence, Giveth founders wanted to establish a local haven that represents freedom of thought and choice, and serve as a physical space to exercise that freedom. We are open to and inclusive of all walks of life that have equality, safety, comradery, freedom from tyranny, hierarchy and subservience in their philosophy. Until now we have sustained the Giveth House successfully through a revenue stream that has unfortunately recently diminished due to changes in the Ethereum network and market. We are asking for the support of the community at large to keep this wonderful IRL solar punk nexus alive!Centrally located near Plaça d'Espanya with easy access throughout the city and beach, the Giveth House welcomes anyone in the blockchain4good ecosystem who needs a place to stay, work or just hang out while in town. We want the space eventually to grow into an increasingly dynamic and regenerative locale where we can hold events for the different projects and become a strategic point to exchange ideas, create, and contribute to the community.Please support the Giveth House and help us maintain this gentle and warm, and open-door safe haven for the solar punk community that connects the greater Giveth ecosystem!

Dappnode is a free and open source platform that allows anyone to easily deploy and run decentralized applications (DApps) and validators. By donating to Dappnode, you are supporting the development of a better user experience for the web3 ecosystem and helping to decentralize networks.The dappnode software is completely free, and more than 4000 validators in Ethereum use it to maintain their nodes running and up-to-date. Dappnode doesn't, and can't, charge anything for it because it's built with self-sovereignty and privacy by design.Currently, our focus is in lowering the capital requirement for validating PoS networks and Ethereum in particular so we bridge not only the technical gap, but also the economic gap to participate in the ownership and upside of decentralized tech.Your donations will directly impact the continued development and improvement of Dappnode, allowing us to create new features and enhancements that make it easier for users to access and use DApps. This in turn will help to further decentralize the Ethereum network and promote the use of decentralized technologies.In our quest for better User Experience in the web3 ecosystem, we've created a wealth of Open Source tools that any project can use.Keymanger API: We coordinated client implementers and stakeholders to standardize the way keys are managed between different pieces of software.Keymanager UI - a front-end that uses the Keymanager API to connect to any validator implementation and web3signer.And of course, Dappnode is completely open source too! Here's a demonstration of how easy it is to deploy all the software for running a validator:

This project will provide basic school supplies to out-of-school children in various public schools in Oji-River. 18.5 children are out of school in Nigeria and 10.5 million children are girls. Supporting this initiative will help close the gap by helping more underprivileged children to stay in school. There will be relief on the burden of parents, who are unemployed to provide these basic essentials for underprivileged children.Helpers Social Development Foundation was established to make a difference in Nigeria. We believed that lasting change happened when children, youths and women have access to social amenities. We have touched more than 3.700 lives from different initiatives since our inception in 2016. We recently established a nursery and primary school in the Oji-River area of Enugu State with a population of 30 pupils. Helpers Foundation nursery and primary offer free education to underprivileged children. We have grown to include working with the parents of the children and the community leaders of the villages in which we operate.Why We Are Working Hard We distribute free school supplies to underprivileged children in 20 public schools in Enugu state to keep them in school. We attack are the root cause of factors that stand as barriers to underprivileged children's education so that underprivileged children can access free and quality education and realize their full potential.Where And Challenges This is truly a trying time for underprivileged Nigerians as many people have lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 18.5 million children dropped out of school, and 10.5 million are girls, they struggle daily for not having the stools needed to help them in school. Poverty regardless of level is linked to reduced academic achievement. Students who live in poverty come to school every day without the proper tools for success, as a result, they are commonly behind their classmates physically, socially, and emotionally. Help us to reach out to millions of out-of-school children.SolutionHow can we use crypto to narrow the performance gap in children's education? Better funding for out-of-school children's education. Helpers Social Development Foundation provides funding to support children from the start of school across Oji-river local government, specifically targeting children with special needs and families. Meeting some of the children's basic needs, like food, healthcare support at school and supplies. Long-Term Impact Your support of this project will have a lifetime impact on the people and Oji-River communities. It will help support out-of-school children to achieve academic, professional, and communal success by creating a positive, supportive environment for their academic, professional, and social growth.Thank you for your generosity.Website: https://www.helpersfoundation.org/about-us/Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI1kITN94xETwitter handle: https://twitter.com/HelpersSocialFacebook handle: https://web.facebook.com/HelpersfoundationsLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/helpers-social-development-foundation/

The StoryTrusted Seed is a global network of trusted actors who apply wisdom, expertise, and capital to early-stage web3 Commons committed to creating regenerative economies for public goods.In September 2022, we joined researchers, community stewards, and web3 founders at Crypto Commons Hub and discussed the future of commons. Our vision, Protopia, was based on two key trends: our ability to organize inside and to connect outside. We used Burning Man’s Playa as an example of interactions we want to build and Metamodern as a guiding philosophy.We believe that stewards (servant leaders, community managers, HR personnel, coaches, and facilitators) are the key to turning our vision into reality. Given this, we sense that now is the moment for the leadership development of Web3 stewards, with help from the angels (founders, sponsors) in our ecosystem.Thus, we’ve created the Trusted Seed Unconference as a space to bring us together and support our growth as future leaders of a protopian world.ExperienceWhat is an Unconference?Unconference is a non-traditional event that has an open agenda and allows participants to co-create its format. The agenda is created by the attendees at the beginning of the program. Anyone who wants to initiate a discussion on a topic or any activity can claim a time and a space.Example of the unconference organization✍ Understand the theme: ProtopiaIn its original, minimalist — and admittedly rather lacking — formulation by Kevin Kelly, Protopia is simply a term that denotes the gradual improvement of society over time, without claiming either perfection or the reaching of a point of stability.If we cannot allow ourselves to believe in a future paradise that has stabilized around a blissful state of affairs (Utopia), and we find it insufficient to look for those beautiful little exceptions of what life and society can be in certain regards under specific circumstances (Eutopia), perhaps we can more cautiously and realistically allow hope and faith in gradual but over time substantial improvements of society. As mentioned earlier, Kelly views such a capacity to improve as the true opposite of Dystopia.Some inspiration from Monika Bielskyte about Protopia and its framework:PLURALITY — BEYOND BINARIESCOMMUNITY — BEYOND BORDERSCELEBRATION OF PRESENCEREGENERATIVE ACTION & LIFE AS TECHNOLOGYSYMBIOTIC SPIRITUALITYCREATIVITY & EMERGENT SUBCULTURESEVOLUTION OF VALUES — CULTURE OF CONTRIBUTIONWhat are the goals?Build connections and partnerships between stewards and organizations in our ecosystemHelp stewards learn new tools and build or improve their skillsNurture a sense of belonging and form a shared identity in our communityProvide inspiration and emotional supportWhat’s on the agenda?Webinars and workshops – propose a session and activity you’d like to organize through the formNetworking – we’ll have some mixers and activities to boost connectionsProject Showcase – pitch your project and get feedbackReading sessions – read and discuss relevant books or articles with a groupWho’s invited?Public good foundations (e.g. Wikimedia, Ethereum, P2P Foundation)Communities & hubs (e.g. CryptoCommons, AKASHA, Decentralized Science)ReFi (e.g. VitaDAO, grassroots economics, ReFi Summer)Academia (e.g ETH Zurich, Stanford, RadicalxChange)Web3 service providers (e.g. Opolis, BrightID, Aragon Network)Web3 developers (e.g. BlockScience, Curve Labs, General Magic)How do we do it?Registration is now OPEN to Stewards and Angels. You can propose and lead an activity/event, or register yourself as a participant or sponsor/donor. We will contact you with the next steps after you register. The earlier you register, the sooner we can begin launching your proposed activity or event.We will collaboratively build the curriculum/agenda based on the registration results (e.g. skills gaps, shared topics and proposed activities) as we receive the forms.The Gardeners will help in organizing, coordinating and promoting each activity or event. Individual invitations will be sent to those who signed up for the Unconference.Activities, events and sessions can be held from October until mid-December. These sessions may be recorded and documented.After the last event/activity of the Unconference is completed, we will gather the documentation and prepare them for distribution. We will also do a retrospective to assess your experience and what we may improve in the future.How to contribute?✅ Engage as you like – there would be a bunch of different events and opportunities with recaps and reminders for your comfort🎁 Give first – let’s practice gift economy, propose the agenda (registration is here), coach and support your peers👩🏽‍🏫 Be open – there’s an abundance of good ideas if you’re ready to take or give🙏 Praise - Acknowledge all kinds of contributions to this program and our community🤣 Have fun – always important, let’s play and take it easy💭 Provide your thoughts – we are open to feedback and suggestionsWhat do I get?Access to inspirational and smartest people in the space during the programSkills development and new tools (even toolboxes)Better working opportunities (there’s always demand for great talent)A feature and feedback on your work, project and ideasEmotional and intellectual support with your challengesPotential access to funding opportunities in selected Impact DAOs

We operate in the space where public goods and private ownership meet personal responsibility and collective power.The DBC is a nested set of entities both public and private that work together as a whole to advance our capacity for coordination toward creating a vibrant and resilient network of local economies.We are so grateful for every giver and everything given that has allowed us to be in service to this mission! Your donations to the DBC in 2023 support regenerative livelihoods for our stewards, provide materials for restorative earthworks projects, and fund scholarships for participants who would not otherwise have access to the transformative experiences and education programs offered.The DBC hosted our network partner Bloom International's 2022 retreat, and organized a tour of the many initiatives, lands and people that have been incubated through the Collective.For greater transparency and accountability with our donations as well as to show and tell of our accomplishments more regularly, we recently released a YouTube channel filled with impactful and educational content, and a public website to demonstrate our decentralized governance practices for approving activities and allocating resources.Check out our Forum and Calendar for more details! We prioritize the transcendence of land “ownership” and actively transform our contractual agreements toward land "donorship", choosing instead to be stewards of nature and the gifts bestowed unto us for future generations. This dream was made real in 2022, with the Diamante Luz Regenerative Living Center being donated by the title holder into a private perpetual Land Trust! Several land nodes are ready to follow suit using our 7 Stages of Stewardship model of acquiring beneficial interest. First order of business in 2023 is the receiving of land use rights by the DBC for establishing a public intercultural commons.Our self-organizing collective of radically responsible individuals has actualized in the past 2 years an intentional community, an activation hub, a non-profit association, a public commons, a landing pad, a leaping point, and given hundreds of people big warm welcome home to heaven on earth hugs!We govern ourselves using Sociocracy as a tool, honoring the diversity of perspectives within our collective and ensuring space for all voices during decision making processes. In late 2021 the DBC spun up a Costa Rica-registered social impact organization, el Asociacion Puente Diamante, with 26 founding members. Our 2022 Annual Membership Meeting brought official membership to 45 including new talent on the Board!The Diamante Bridge Collective is a decentralized village, with many permaculture and agricultural farms, intentional communities and retreat centers, shared homes and private casitas, co-working hubs and collaborative spaces at various stages of development.We are all bridges to what we are becoming, and we each bring valuable wisdom, experience and gifts to share with the world.. and we do that one relationship at a time by both reaching out and welcoming in. We invite you to reach out, explore what opportunity the collective may hold for you in the fulfillment of your own destiny.. receive the offerings shared already, and consider giving back to those here now building forward, for those who will come after.
