Cardano for Good - a dApp Fundraising Platform for Social Good Projects

Please describe your proposed solution.

We started the Crypto For Life project in 2022 during the pandemic in Vietnam, and recently, we relaunched the platform with the Libraries of Dreams project in Vietnam,

We just updated the workflow and plan to include the Cardano blockchain in the project.

The proposal will have a holistic approach for Cardano for Good

  1. <u>Step 1: Onboarding</u>. Onboarding social good projects with identity and background history verification
  2. <u>Step 2: Campaign Planning.</u> Set up a Fundraising campaign leveraging CEX and DEX on Cardano for transactions on a chain with real-time updates for the campaign.
  3. <u>Step 3: Implementation.</u> Follow up with Fundraising Organizations for the community's budget release and impact tracking reports.
  4. <u>Step 4: Impact measurements.</u> We will conduct with the fundraising team for accounting and before/after reporting for the community,

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

The proposal will help the Cardano System improve cross-chain collaboration interoperability.

Given recent updates from Cardano Summit 2023 with the Partners Chains, we are excited about this project.

We look forward to further developing this concept soon with solution-stage and product-stage funds.

Ultimately, we plan to build a trusted platform for Cardano for Good with the community on-chain.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

We are a humble team with a background in

  1. Cardano Blockchain
  2. ONUSChain, the largest CEX of cryptocurrency in Vietnam
  3. A proven track record of experience in social good projects. An example is the Libraries of Dreams project.

We also deployed the Crypto For Good Project in Vietnam for over a year. <https://cryptoforlife.org/>

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

The detailed budget will be updated shortly for three main parts

  1. Technical set-up
  2. Marketing campaigns
  3. % of budget commitment from the project team to donate for the suitable projects (at least 50%)

The project is relatively straightforward, with a core team of 3 members with 20 working hours/week in 6 months. With this as a charity of our project

A detailed budget can be found here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_-XW2MNLH_PBY9vlGbdiHgZsjXe2n2c9ZhWhC-Psed0/edit?usp=sharing

We will commit 50% (50,000 ADA) to fund the NPO project on the platform as the Cardano For Good initial platform launch.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Value for money - Cost benchmarking

We use the primary resources of the team to implement, so the labor cost is reduced compared to the average salary in Vietnam by 40%-50%.
