  Challenge brief

The NPOs/NGOs have different existing and transformational projects with measurable outcomes but lack the funding and sources of opportunities to implement them. Most NPOs/NGOs have applied for funding with proposals and concept notes but have waited for months and years without feedback and those with feedback are often not funded.

Others have also participated in competitive project pitches on different platforms and came out without a win for funding of their ambitious project/programs.

Engaging these NPOs/NGOs via catalyst with the use and integration of blockchain and cardano particularities is a huge approach to expanding the cardano and blockchain ecosystem of NPOs/NGOs to mobilize and popularize to cause the change in the society. It is important to create a catalyst of NPOs/NGOs with projects for developers / engineers, cardano blockchain integration for impact, grant transparency, accounting and reporting, project management, Monitoring and Evaluation, event attendance sheets, report publications and staff recruitment and among others.
