Blockchain, decentralization, cryptocurrencies, and DApps. We hear these terms every day, but what do they really mean? And, more importantly, how can they be used in civil society?

What is the decentralized web and why is it important for Makers?

What are blockchains?

How does blockchain technology enable decentralization?

How do you buy, sell, store, and send cryptocurrencies?

What are protocols and DApps?

How can you create ethical DApps that factor in all groups within society?

The primary goal of "Office Hours" is to support members of the public good technology ecosystem and bring together diverse stakeholders from across civil society. By facilitating open conversations and collaboration, these sessions aim to empower Makers to deepen connections with leaders from across civil society who are well-positioned to help them accelerate the development and adoption of their solutions

Whether you are a seasoned marketing professional or new to the field, this event will provide valuable insights and practical advice for growing your nonprofit's impact. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the experts and take your marketing efforts to the next level.

During this special Office Hours event, Nathan Hewitt will be available to answer your burning questions and provide expert guidance.

The event will focus on decentralized apps for distributed communities and collective governance.

The decentralized web (DWeb*) is the product of a technological movement that aims to distribute the internet (including data and applications) across a network of connected devices as opposed to large, centrally controlled entities. Join us to learn how decentralized solutions — including those from The Guardian Project and more — can empower civil society to better serve communities around the world.

Technology is reshaping how nonprofit organizations help people worldwide, forcing nonprofits to be nimble and creative.

Most communities feel they are operating in a silo, asking themselves the same questions: Should we start a nonprofit? Who should be the president? What if it doesn't work out? How do we close it? How much money should we spend on accountants and lawyers? This doesn't have to be the case. There are options out there to help you easily collaborate and fund your efforts.
