This new class of NFT can streamline recognition and the redemption of corporate sponsored perks of increasing value, based on easily verifiable NFT tiers - visible at a glance, and **provable on-chain for those who wish to verify**. This enables transparency, motivates generosity, and strengthens ties between individuals, brands, and causes.\n\nHaving such an easy to understand and utilize tool to unify the public goods regenerative space has **been long-desired by the Gitcoin  and Zuzalu community**. Furthermore, such a system naturally tees up approaches to gather and direct donations to the verified initiatives tracked by the Proof of Philanthropy protocol in a credibly neutral manner, the importance of which blockchain technology pioneers such as Vitalik Buterin have recently highlighted:\n\n> If there was a strong, effective, and credibly neutral pot - where you just know that if you throw money into the pot public goods projects and people behind them will be compensated in way that is reasonably fair - that\u2019s something that lots of people would be willing to automatically airdrop to.\n\n**[![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/rJZZCGuKNBr2GU2-2SohcX-5a1hbFRP9Bng6QZ7QQFP_g0mET4F-AvD8EKQQnLX_eiaspgI4yfBar_sTgUF1LOMFE5Yemsg0oKkgaHaK0AGfZ767Z9rEWWS2qdDILb1-JVMJRIMJUaxnbjY0FB4ySoU)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH3dPShZwag&t=845s)**\n\n# Open Source Technology to Support Public Goods\n\n\nAs Vitalik notes, it is incredibly important for such initiatives to be conducted in an open and transparent manner, and we are committed to seeing that the modern giving pledge is one founded on digital innovation, platform neutrality, and [open source code](https://github.com/lifespanio/proof-of-philanthropy).\n\n  \nIf you\u2019d like a deep dive on how this underlying technology works, you can watch the below video from Omar ElNagger of Weavechain, who worked with the well-known charity Lifespan.io to build the Proof of Philanthropy prototype on Polygon - based on the [blueprints](https://www.keithcomito.com/p/demi-soulbound-nfts-and-proof-of) of Lifespan\u2019s president and technology [inventor](https://patents.google.com/?inventor=keith+comito&scholar&oq=keith+comito) - Keith Comito:\n\n**[![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/cpDcg98ZcPVrXcUpzsdOByArLSknK1byaUGNVYybpxzfP0w7PjEgOvcQvirMwwhNFgESw5DTjY7CEYM_fln_ylNMPncfB2kBbTO6YSm4aeWnXtqukpi1UiNDuRIngCfQmSw9YVUAp3tLQFAxB5pfu9M)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX7QSRU6omc)**\n\n# The Goals of Proof of Philanthropy:\n\n- Create a unified system for tracking charitable giving and support of public goods: this enables philanthropic attribution, accountability, and innovative campaign mechanisms\n    \n-   Align incentives to reward donors: on-board blockchain and corporate perk providers\n    \n-   Expand from on-chain donation tracking: track and reward all on and off-chain philanthropic activity\n\n\n[**We Already Have A Demo You Can Test!**](https://pop.lifespan.io/)\n**By simply donating to this campaign** you can see  Proof of Philanthropy in action! After donating (or before!), Mint your NFT [here](https://pop.lifespan.io) and with as little as $10, you can see it power up and [evolve](https://opensea.io/collection/proof-of-philanthropy), based on artwork by the amazing Gitcoin community member [Colton Orr](https://twitter.com/mettahead).

Alternatively donations which support the US 501c3 nonprofit, Lifespan.io, as described on the minting website [here](https://pop.lifespan.io/), will also power up this limited prototype PoP NFT as well.\n\n  \n\nThis is just the first step of what we can do with Proof of Philanthropy; with the key steps on our current roadmap being:\n\nPhase 1: Successful prototype of PoP NFT tracking donations to a single charity - [Lifespan.io](https://www.lifespan.io)\nPhase 2: New NFT designed to track all giving; starting by adding **Gitcoin** donations\nPhase 3: Upgrading to track all on-chain Giving to major Web3 philanthropic efforts\nPhase 4: Upgrading to track all on-chain and off-chain giving\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/6z-c8S_0NxWAhNC6N8CCWRuGJxzwul5t_qf9qCo1QbwpzGzs49UIzNGPBWHWDADAGOw8emzuNUjSgaXe4yEYF_2GLMOoy364VQZtTPq4vTYgini_RmCcu0FccAIbf9qZaIOjQb6xjulAp6h8Nu1RACo)\n\nSuccess in executing this roadmap will also create several additional opportunities for exciting new technologies and use cases, and if you\u2019d like to understand this more deeply, you can watch the below video by Keith Comito: president of the charity Lifespan.io, and creator of the original Proof of Philanthropy concept and roadmap!\n\n**[![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/malupxcSR8jnr4UsZwYtYnPH_zUglKxKLvRM0OVFH-NguFoYyvDxwq3mD2SCHdnWXgC7_X1-pp7ML_0dHKZmAS4_StpyAImZY43vMfBnCRUGUdFSOj6gkQC2dZylcCsxB-W1VQRpbJdFjwOOEdtljJU)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4br11JRX8-k)**\n\n# The Team:\n\nTo drive this important project forward **we have formed a charitable organization**, **Proof of Philanthropy Foundation**, a Canadian T3010 (501c3 equivalent).\n\nOur team brings together an incredible group of Web3 / Regen / Public Goods change-makers and is actively expanding our Board to encompass all Web3 charitable platforms.\n  \nThe Proof of Philanthropy Foundation seeks to shape values on a societal level where generosity and collective impact become ingrained in our culture.
