--Three Key Takeaways--

• For nonprofits who are new to the space, it can be helpful to partner with a reputable crypto philanthropy platform to simplify the process and take care of the technical side of things. This can take the stress out of the process of accepting crypto donations, allowing nonprofits to focus on building partnerships in the space.
• The Web3 space is very welcoming, so don’t be afraid to start engaging, whether it’s joining Twitter/X spaces or project Discord servers, or reaching out to projects that have a similar mission to your nonprofit.
• The Web3 space is filled with individuals and projects looking to do good, creating plenty of opportunities for new partnerships. In the case of Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, they were able to build partnerships with several Web3 organizations, NFT projects, and even meme coins that were focused on dogs and cats.
