How Web3 Is Giving Power Back to Society (and Your Nonprofit Organization)

Wednesday, November 15, 2023, 12:00 – 1:00 PM EST

You’re not alone if decentralization and Web3 is confusing. But, this technology is changing the way society interacts and behaves, and as nonprofit leaders, we have a unique opportunity to participate in this movement.

In this, the second session in our series for nonprofit leaders, expert speaker Jodi Callender will take a deep dive into decentralization and, more broadly, how blockchain and Web3 is changing society.

She’ll answer key questions like these:

  • How is decentralization bringing positive change?

  • How does blockchain enable decentralization?

  • What does the transition from Web1 to Web2 to Web3 look like?

  • What are the broader impacts of decentralization on civil society?

She’ll also explain how the decentralized web is applied in industry and which foundational elements of society will be disrupted and rebuilt in more equitable ways.

Attendee Bonus: To start applying these lessons quickly, we’ve prepared a getting-started guide with hands-on activities and an explainer document you can take and share with your organization.

If you’re left with more questions or want to go deeper, attendees have access to a live Q&A with Jodi Callender and our team.

Making Your Community Project Sustainable

If you are having a hard time figuring out how to organize your community and fundraise, you are not alone!

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.

TESTIMONIALS

"As a startup working in the social impact sector, The Public Good App House helped us make powerful connections. One event particularly illustrates this as we were able to meet in person with the Medic Mobile team, an organization we've been looking to collaborate with. After attending the Public Good App House, we were able to solidify  and strengthen our relationship with them, which was decisive for our startup."
