Show Notes:

Broad Topics:

  • Educate about DAFs and how they work.
  • Share process of opening a DAF with Endaoment.
  • Discuss why DAFs can be advantageous.
  • Talk about Endaoment’s origin, mission and vision.
  • Share about future roadmap and long term vision for the technology behind Endaoment.
  • Discuss the charitable/philanthropic space inside of the crypto/defi industry.

Endaoment Background & Roadmap:

  • Created by Robbie Heeger in 2019 originally as hacking project as I was teaching myself to code.
  • Recieved 501(c)(3) – the first public charity on chain – in June 2020.
  • Released MVP DAF product in October 2020, audited by Open Zeppelin.
  • Built to be a DAF that is powered by smart contracts.
  • Accepts over 135 different ethereum assets + ETH.
  • Lowest cost, lowest donation minimum DAF provider in US.
  • Built atop Uniswap’s open source front end, Gidestar API + USDC API.
  • Enables giving to 1.5 million + US organizations.
  • Consider our current DAF product an MVP of what’s possible using Ethereum/DeFi to power charitable giving
  • Down the road, User will choose either giving to Pooled Capital Community Fund (Endaoment Community Fund) or to an individual Endaoment DAF.
  • Endaoment Community Fund to be the first DAO powered Community Foundation & Endowment Fund where token holders choose investment allocations across yield farming strategies in DeFi, grant awards to nonprofits and select Endaoment policies and board members using tokens.
  • Looking to bring those same investment options to the individual Endaoment DAF as well, without the same token based voting weights.

DAF History/Background:

  • Donor Advised Funds are charitable accounts owned and managed by a public charity.
  • Allows a donor to donate an asset to charity without selling it first.
  • Over 750k DAFs in the US.
  • Fastest-growing method to give to charity in the united states in 2019.
  • Over 120 BN in DAF assets in the US.
  • DAFs can be controversial … many people park assets there, take the deduction and let it sit. Many people think DAF capital should more quickly flow into communities.

Crypto Giving Landscape Background:

  • Several large DAF providers accept “blue chip” crypto, but no long tail of tokens.
  • Most crypto giving platforms either are crowdfunding derivatives, public goods funding projects, or going one organization at a time to support giving.
  • Many community foundations in the US are still running off paper checks and desire to modernize their financial infrastructure but are intimidated by crypto.
  • Many organizations are intrigued by crypto but scared away by the fluctuation in value and unknowns about custodianship…delivering grants in USD is prime concern.
