It was founded by nature lovers to create a positive impact on the planet.\n\nWe are NOT another carbon credits based organization! We aim on delivering real, tangible ecological impact.\n\n\ud83d\udd34Problems Addressed\n\n1. The global environmental crisis, characterized by unprecedented levels of biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate change, soil degradation, and other challenges, poses a pressing issue for humanity.\n\n\n2. Traditional fundraising methods often suffer from issues such as lack of transparency, high operating costs, and a lack of trust, which can limit the effectiveness of efforts to address these challenges.\n\n\u2757Lack of transparency and trust- It can be difficult for donors to know how their donations are being used, how much was used for Impact vs. Operations, etc.\n\n\u2757Middlemen and overhead cost - A portion of donations may be used to cover operational and administrative expenses.\n\n\u2757Potential for fraud - There have been many cases of charity organizations misusing funds or being outright scams.\n\n\u2757Limited control - Once a donation is made, the donor typically has no further say in how the funds are used or distributed.\n\n\u2757Limited or no connection with impact generated - Once a donation is made, the donor typically isn\u2019t made aware of the actual impact generated by their generosity.\n\n\ud83d\udca1 Our Solution\n\n\u2705We designed a platform that connects the donor with the impact generated by their generosity that provides full transparency and accessibility to track all donations and contributions to the Anu Initiative\u2019s Treasury all the way to Actual Impact generated by our trusty Impact Partners.\n\n\u2705By integrating these solutions, Anu Initiative can help overcome the traditional challenges of environmental fundraising and create a robust, transparent, and effective mechanism for environmental impact.\n\n\u2705Blockchain Technology for Transparency - Utilize blockchain tech to track donations from the moment they are made until they are spent, and moreover, all the way down to the impact generated. This ensures that donors can see exactly where their money is going and how it is being used, addressing the transparency and trust issues.\n\n\u2705Direct Impact Tracking - Develop a system that connects donations to specific projects and outcomes in a live manner. For each project funded, there should be a clear set of expected results, and donors and the public should receive reports on the project's progress and impact. Funded projects should be displayed on a public dashboard.\n\n\u2705Reduce Overhead with Technology - Automate various administrative and operational tasks using software to reduce the need for middlemen and cut down on overhead costs. This allows a larger portion of donations to go directly to environmental projects.\n\n\u2705Engagement and Feedback Loop - Create a platform where donors can vote on projects they want to support, providing them with control over how their donations are used and fostering a deeper connection with the impact generated.\n\n\u2705Impact Investment Fund - Establish a fund to invest in startups and technologies that provide ecological benefits, with profits being reinvested into the Anu Initiative\u2019s projects.\n\n\u2705Feedback and Adaptation - Implement a feedback mechanism where donors, partners, and beneficiaries can suggest improvements to the Anu Initiative\u2019s processes, ensuring that the organization remains responsive and adaptable to the needs of the environment and its stakeholders.\n\n\ud83c\udf31Roadmap:\n\nAdministrative:\n1. Complete Charity Registration with the Charities Regulator (Ireland) - (in progress)\n2.  Register as a Virtual Asset Service Provider with the Central Bank of Ireland (not yet started - pending Charity registration)\n\nDevelopment:\n1. Finish the Smart Contract review (in progress)\n2.
