NFTs have taken the world of metaverse by storm. Not only artists and celebrities are making headlines with their maiden NFT drops, but the space is exponentially growing in support of good social causes. More than a dozen NFT projects exist head-on for charitable and social causes like gender equality, women empowerment and stand as a crusader for climate crisis raising funds for environmental protection projects. Many decentralized systems and blockchain technology-backed NFT projects are gaining momentum, with the metaverse discourse generously spread across the globe. One classic example is an Ocean Front NFT sold by artist Beeple for $6 million. The proceeds were donated to The Open Earth Foundation, an NGO raising funds to develop open digital infrastructure for better planet management.

While artists, celebrities, and rare collectibles are the predominant face of NFTs, there are NFT projects minted and dropped to bring in revolutionary changes. Some NFT projects focus on goodwill and promote a social cause.

Maxity — One-Stop Shop for Charitable Causes

Maxity — the world’s first DAO-based NFT marketplace, announced its official launch on 31st March 2022 exclusively for good causes, philanthropy-minded NFT projects, and charities. As a smart contract-powered decentralized marketplace, it would provide a global platform for NGOs and charities to gather funds by minting and selling NFTs for a social cause. The marketplace will likely cover humanitarian and environmental issues, providing charities with an exciting new route to raise funds through impactful NFT projects to make the planet a better place to live.

Turbo Ghana, a micro charity that provides poverty relief in Ghana, is already looking forward to getting onboard with Maxity. Turbo Ghana solely depends on donations to help the marginalized population of Ghana, and with the help of NFT projects, it will help bring in new streams of revenues and donors.

SEVA.LOVE

The NFT marketplace focuses on launching NFT collections that empower and support social and environmental initiatives. The aim is to build a community of artists, brands, and philanthropists to bring social change and initiatives to reduce environmental crises. The 100% sales from recent NFTs minted by renowned artist Dhimant Vyas will support the humanitarian cause by supporting children in Ukraine. Likewise, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke’s NFT collection aims to raise funds for charity “Same You” that intends to help survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) and raise awareness.

Endangered Tigers NFT Project

Currently, 12.5% of the sales amount goes for the charity protecting the big cats, whereas 12.5% goes toward funding the college education for the artists.

The ultimate goal of women’s rise NFT is to build a metaverse-based school for 258 million children worldwide and provide access to education. Another revolutionary NFT project is Women’s Right, a Solana-based NFT collection. It consists of a collection of 10,000 unique feminine fighters, and the NFT project aims to fight against gender inequality, ensure women’s rights, and take proactive steps towards women’s rights advocacy.

The NFT projects aim to support Mental Health America, a leading non-profit community addressing the needs of people struggling with mental illness. 25% of the mint profits and 100% of secondary royalties go to the community to help people suffering from mental health. The royalty model from the NFT project provides recurring revenue to Mental Health America and hence supports a cause.

Dainty Dolphin NFT Project

The projects donated 100% of their minting profit to Team Seas to support their mission of removing 30 million pounds of trash from oceans. The NFT project’s mission is to address climate change and ocean pollution. The project donates 50% of the profit from mints, 50% of all proceeds from merch, and 25% of all proceeds to various communities involved in reducing ocean trash and pollution.

Koalanas NFT Project
