We’re starting to explore this more directly through a partnership focused on blockchain and non profit infrastructure. The goal isn’t to change how a non profit presents itself, it’s to improve the systems behind it so transparency and accountability become standard instead o...
The most important part of using blockchain in a non profit is that the user experience should not change. Donors don’t need to understand blockchain. They just need clear and verifiable information about how funds are being used.
Volatility is a real consideration when combining blockchain and non profit treasuries, but it can be managed. A non profit can structure its treasury similar to a fund with stable assets making up the majority and a smaller portion allocated to growth or yield strategies.
Governance is another piece where blockchain and non profit models intersect, but it has to be handled carefully. A DAO style structure can increase transparency around decision making, but it still needs to feel familiar and stable to donors who are used to more traditional n...
Another area where blockchain can help a non profit is through programmable funding. Funds can be released based on milestones, third party verification, or predefined timelines which adds structure and removes a lot of ambiguity around how money is deployed.
There have been enough examples over time to show the gaps in how non profit funds are managed. The Red Cross faced heavy scrutiny after Haiti around how funds were allocated versus what was delivered. More recently other large non profit organizations have dealt with investig...
What blockchain offers a non profit is the ability to move from trust based systems to verification based systems. Instead of assuming funds are being used correctly, donors can actually see how those funds are being used through a public and immutable record.
I’ve spent time working with non profit organizations at a local level and while fraud wasn’t something I personally saw, mismanagement of funds showed up more often than people would expect. That experience is what led me to start looking at how blockchain could actually impr...
When most people hear blockchain and non profit in the same sentence they think about accepting crypto donations. That’s not the interesting part. The real value is transparency and the ability to verify how funds move from donation to final use.
Quick CLARITY Act update, here’s what’s next:
• Senate calendar placement likely late May → mid June
• Floor debate + amendments mid June → early July
• Cloture vote (key trigger) late June → mid July
• Final Senate passage late June → late July
After that, any House alignment + final signing would follow.
These timelines are likely ranges, not set in stone — things can move faster or slower depending on how much political friction shows up.
The White House has signaled interest in signing something around July 4th, but realistically that’s a tight window given what still needs to happen. That said, this committee vote itself came out of nowhere, so speed is still on the table.
