--Key Takeaways--

• It is important to be realistic about the challenges in Web3, including that there will be bad actors and scams. As such, nonprofits need to really focus their initial efforts on knowledge acquisition, and learning about all the ins-and-outs of Web3
• In addition to being a valuable tool to diversify fundraising efforts, Web3 tools also present exciting new opportunities to engage community members in the story behind wishes, and the incredible value they bring to the lives of children and their families.
• When engaging with Web3, as with any technology, there will be set backs, including fundraising projects that don’t meet their desired objective. As such, it’s important to develop organizational resiliency and be prepared to treat set backs as learning experiences.
