The Web3 Nonprofit Episode 1 - Upbring Innovation Labs
For the first episode of The Web3 Nonprofit, we’re excited to highlight the work of Upbring, a Texas-wide organization implementing generational innovation to advance child wellbeing, and their groundbreaking Upbring Innovation Labs, which unites the brightest minds with the boldest ideas to shape better childhoods. To learn more, we welcome to the podcast Ryan Park, Upbring’s VP of Marketing & Innovation, and Kelsey Driscoll, Senior Innovation Program Specialist.

--Key Takeaways--
- An important starting point for nonprofits starting to engage with Web3 is education. It’s important to take the time to learn about the ins-and-outs of Web3, including the benefits and risks, and joining online communities such as Discord groups & Twitter/X spaces to start building your network.
- “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Building a culture of organizational resilience is key to success in Web3. This includes open communication with the Board of Directors and staff about the realities of Web3, not being afraid of innovation, and being prepared for market volatility, setbacks, and failures.
- Blockchain and AI give nonprofits the ability to engage in important capacity building activities, like predictive analytics, that have been happening in the private sector for a long time, but have traditionally been out of reach for nonprofits.
- “Find your sandbox” - start small by finding what you and your organization are comfortable with, for example accepting crypto donations, and then build from there.

While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment. We host a variety of guests on this podcast with the sole purpose of highlighting the social impact use cases of this technology. That being said, Crypto Altruism does not endorse any of these projects, and we recognize that, since this is an emerging sector, some may be operating in regulatory grey areas, and as such, we cannot confirm their legality in the jurisdictions in which they operate, especially as it pertains to decentralized finance protocols. So, before getting involved with any project, it’s important that you do your own research and confirm the legality of the project. More on the disclaimer at cryptoaltruism.org.
