How to Find and Support Indigenous Artists with CharitiesDAO: Feasibility Research & Analysis for Decentralized autonomous non-profit organizations (DANOs) (Part 3)

CharitiesDAO’s Unique Features: The Catalyst for Grass-root Art’s Development

In addition to the findings and recommendations provided in the feasibility research report, it is important to note the following statistical data and examples from the source provided:

• The Big Green DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in the field of philanthropy, was launched in late 2021, tied to a decade-old food justice charity that had revenue in excess of $9 million in 2019.
• DAOs, in general, have little if any formal infrastructure. Some states only require one individual to be designated as the agent of record.
• Wyoming passed a law in 2021 that legally recognizes DAOs as legal entities, but requires them to be organized as a Wyoming-based limited liability company, with an individual identified as the registered agent.
• The total market value of cryptocurrency has undergone significant volatility, with a significant drop from $2.85 trillion three months earlier to $1.6 trillion on February 3rd, 2022.
• Charities either need to convert these donations into U.S. dollars right away, as they do with donated stocks, or gamble regarding their future value.

These statistical data highlight the potential of DAOs in philanthropy, particularly in their ability to reduce overhead spending and provide a high degree of transparency. However, there are still regulatory and legal obstacles that need to be addressed, as well as the volatility of cryptocurrency donations and the question of donors receiving tokens in return for their contributions which may affect the tax benefits.
