$DOG community, we’re excited to present this proposal to (1) invest half the remaining $250k charity proceeds into a perpetual charitable endowment via Angel Protocol to be directed by the community, and (2) use the other $250k to provide donate-matching for the Restore Earth climate change fundraising campaign.
Donated funds into the $DOG community charitable endowment will not be market sold, but instead LP’d for yield that will provide a perpetual revenue stream for charities. a. These donated funds are invested into endowments of specific charities that can be voted on by the $DOG community on a quarterly basis, providing ongoing engagement and sustainable impact. b. Due to the perpetual nature of this donation stream, it will provide ongoing positive exposure for the $DOG community.
The Restore Earth campaign matching will help drive funding towards one of the most pressing issues facing humanity and dogkind alike: climate change. Both the size of the donation and the viral nature of matching donations for such a public campaign will provide significant positive exposure for the $DOG community a. $DOG community members would be rewarded with Galactic Angel NFT’s, a special mint of the popular Galactic Punks NFT DAO on the Terra blockchain b. $DOG community would secure a top spot on the donor leaderboards and likely positive media coverage
Angel Protocol is the leading crypto-native nonprofit platform on Terra, bringing an entirely new angle to the concept of charity: Generative Giving. When you donate to Angel Protocol, your donations are locked in permanent endowments (Anchor Yield accounts) for the over 50 NGOs that have been onboarded. Yield (not principal) from the endowments is paid into individual NGO accounts every week, which they can then withdraw and spend to resolve the greatest issues our planet faces. These endowments are meant to provide a perpetual income stream so these organizations can focus on having boots on the ground. At the same time, they lock significant amounts of UST - forever.
The Restore Earth campaign runs from now through end of year and is meant to supercharge donations through Angel Protocol. The campaign focuses on three climate change charities, all attacking the problem of restoring our planet in different ways: Removal of ocean plastics (5 Gyres), Reforestation (Global Brigades), and Solar Installation (S.E.L.F). In addition to helping fund these charities, it has proven to be a strong channel for rewriting the climate narrative around crypto while building a strong foundation for future issue-specific campaigns. The campaign is endorsed by Terraform Labs (Terra/Luna) & Delphi Digital, and donors earn Galactic Punk NFT rewards (top NFT project on Terra). There is a gamified charity leaderboard where $DOG would immediately become the top Angel Alliance donor.
