Title: Setting up a Charity! (Marketing)
Post by: ncinic on February 17, 2016, 09:01:50 am

People love charities, how about this Idea.

1) Find a cause.
2) Create an Asset Called CharityforChildren
3) Sell the Asset as a charity token for fiat to donors
4) Give FIAT to the charity
5) Help Bitshares in the process!!!

Use a charity as a marketing tool for Bitshares: Charity wins, Bitshares wins.

I know a small charity project which just launched, their first plan is to raise 3300€. They are based in France but help children in the Philippines: http://www.ulule.com/culture-everyone/

How would you introduce them to BitShares ?

How about using the funds to help provide micro loans for people. Loan programs are better at helping people than just giving them money in some circumstances. Maybe a program like these,

https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/provide-1000-microloans-for-rural-women-in-east-africa/
https://www.kiva.org/
http://www.care.org/work/economic-development/microfinance

Eventually we can setup are own programs like these through Bitshares directly.
