Tech For Good
The key goal behind this collaboration is to preserve the rainforest by dedicating a big part of the revenue generated by the unique NFTs that will be sold.

Tech for Good can be defined as companies and their technologies, organizations, projects, or even individuals aiming to create a positive impact on the world around us.

Kinder has developed a 'transactions for good'- API to provide Web3 projects with the possibility to easily direct royalties to United Actions (collections of highly effective vetted charities) thus providing an automated opportunity for organizations and communities to make a real and positive impact on society.

WomenForce NFT
Women Force is a unique 7,236 NFT project generated from digital drawn elements and stored on the Ethereum Blockchain. The art has been inspired by the Amazon Rainforest and pays a tribute to the force of all Women. The vision of Women Force NFT has always consisted of creating strong and empowering NFT collections and to build a diverse community which raises the voice for important causes.

Kinder & Women Force NFT
An integral goal of the Women Force NFT project has been to make both a rewarding and empowering difference which is why they reached out to Kinder. At Kinder, we have two principal goals, transparency, and reliability. We have been able to create a unique vetting framework that evaluates organizations on how well they are solving the problems that we care about.

Through this collaboration, we strive to ensure that all donations will be dedicated to organizations that are fully vetted by Kinder and meet the high standards for transparency and accountability.

In the upcoming month, we will present our United Action in collaboration with Women Force NFT where we have bundled high-performing charities that work towards primarily ensuring the reforestation of rainforests. The Amazon collection will strongly support the charities and help make a positive impact in the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest!

Brazil is considered the world’s fifth-largest country in terms of both area and population, covering 60% of South America’s land mass. However, due to its large size, it faces complex environmental architecture with several challenges. The country has large reserves of biodiversity and is home to the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon. The Brazilian Amazon represents 60% of Brazil’s territory and extends to more than 5 million km2.

One of the biggest challenges the Amazon has experienced is extensive deforestation as a result of the expanding agricultural industry. Despite the importance of the Amazon, deforestation levels are reaching a point of irreversibility. In addition, the lack of protection such as the creation of a cycle of deforestation, drought, and loss of biodiversity is amplifying climate change and its impacts.

These increasing environmental concerns are causing social implications. Threats to forest areas are threatening marginalized groups, such as family farmers, and indigenous and traditional populations.

Deforestation remains a complex problem along with difficult solutions. However, fortunately, a lot of people see the importance of the rainforest, especially in the nonprofit sector. Experts believe that tackling deforestation in the Amazon requires a new development vision for the region. Some of the current solutions focus on the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in regard to monitoring, environmental control and accountability, land use, creation of protected areas, and promotion of sustainable production activities.

The nonprofit sector and businesses start acting when the government does not have the capacity to help. Charities are able to use their influence to advocate and lobby on political levels while also working closely with local Amazonian communities. Some of the best practices include lobbying for indigenous human and land rights, campaigning against destructive industries, or developing sustainable practices for farmers leading to efforts in the preservation of the Amazon! Businesses contribute by providing strong support to various non-profits.

As highlighted earlier, businesses are supporting non-profits in order to take action. A strong example of this is the Women Force NFT project. The Women Force NFT team partnered up with Kinder recently with the purpose of selling NFTs and donating 40% of their total sales to support the Amazon Rainforest and its populations. Besides helping the environment, the project also provides web3 education, art mentorship, digital arts, and a trip to Brazil among other benefits to its holders.

In addition, we will be presenting our United Action in collaboration with the Women Force NFT next month, consisting of the very best-performing charities that are dedicated to preserving the Amazon!

This year, we decided to look at our Basic Analysis data from January until June 2022.

At Kinder, one of our specialities is creating personalized giving strategies for our clients. We recently completed the process of a giving strategy with Esther, one of our clients. Together, we developed one of the United Actions we are most proud of: United Action for Systemic Change.

To illustrate what the process looks like and why it might be interesting to use Kinder, we interviewed Esther about her experience working with us.

"I believe many problems are caused by systemic failure. No sustainable solutions can be realised without a systemic change. That is why we want to support charities trying to change systems, for instance through research, journalism, policy-making and education."

What did your donation style look like in the past?
We have been giving to charity for a while now but did not really have a straightforward way of donating. I would describe our past donation style as scattered and reactive. We regularly gave and still give larger amounts to a hospital in Peru and various cultural projects. Additionally, we gave different smaller amounts to different projects, depending on what came across our path through friends and family. I would say it was more spontaneous.

What did you want to change about your past donation style?
wanted our donation process to be more proactive so that I could make sure I was more focused on how and where I give. I also wanted to ensure that our donations would make more of an impact and be more efficient.

What made you decide you wanted to seek out support from a company like Kinder, rather than continuing on your own?
It’s a double whammy, I think that’s what it’s called. By donating through a company like Kinder that helps charities become more transparent and effective, I can support a specific group of charities, while also supporting the charitable industry as a whole.

How do you think this collaboration can make donating more effective?
I think it will help focus my donations on the most transparent and accountable charities in the sector I am interested in. It can also help charities organise their fundraising in a more efficient way.

What has the process been like so far?
Quite straightforward. We had a workshop where we discussed and figured out what topics we wanted to address. We already know how and what we wanted to give but weren’t sure which areas piqued our interest the most. After the workshop, we were given ten charity profiles to look through. From those, we chose the ones we liked best and wanted to add to our United Action. Making the decisions was nice because we knew that no matter which charity we chose, it would be one that had been Kinder-verified, meaning it had already demonstrated a strive for improved impact.

What was something unexpected you learned working with Kinder?
Perhaps, that charities usually have to spend large sums of money on fundraising on donation platforms.

If you were to recommend Kinder to friends and family, what reasons would you give?
I would say that their donation becomes more impactful and helps charities become more efficient.

Can you tell us a little about the topics you chose for this United Action? What was your goal and how do you aim to achieve change?
We wanted the United Action to be a mix of fundamental (long-term) goals with more immediate effects. I believe many problems are caused by systemic failure. No sustainable solutions can be realised without a systemic change. That is why we want to support charities trying to change systems, for instance by research, journalism, policy-making and education. We aim for more equality and a more honest division of wealth and opportunities.

If you are a philanthropist or brand interested in making more impactful donation decisions and making the world a ‘kinder’ place, get in touch with us here or email us.
