RE: Five Project Ideas. Which One Rises to the Top?

in #philanthropy6 years ago

I think all the possible considerations for donations have great, and useful paths. However, it will be a difficult path to pick just one group to donate towards. I think the main concept of the donation should be that of the education. After all, the course taught us so much about cryptocurrencies, why not pass on the knowledge. Whether that educational element chosen is a traditional process or a unique process, is also an important element. It may be best to find a way of combining the traditional with a creative new approach. The concept of taking ideas from these approaches, and combining them to create a collaborative approach seems tangible. “Teach the Creatives of Today How to Fish in Tomorrow’s Pools,” and “Support a Valuable Program Inside Public Schools” could directly influence each other. Teaching block chain to artists would be innovative. However also teaching block chain to school students could set the foundation for the artists of tomorrow as well. It also could help create a better connection between educational intuitions, and non-profits. This relationship could prove vital to both groups involved. Creating a paid Internship would be very interesting. Reaching out to low income/ and or disabled students seems like a great concept. The only concern would be how to facilitate this plan? Would we give the Steem value directly to Art-Reach, or could we incorporate the concept of “teaching the creatives of Today How to Fish in Tomorrows Pools?” I think it all directly relates back to the concept of education. The education of the beneficiary about Steem cryptocurrency will be essential to the best use of the funds. The last idea of deploying the Public History Truck is interesting. However, with the limited time we have to select a group, this concept may not be obtainable due to Temple Stadiums projected timeframe. It would be interesting to include the Public History truck into the Public Schools, and Artists fishing into tomorrow’s pool concept. However, with limited time, this may be difficult to do. Each of these ideas and concepts have great elements. Is it possible to create a collaborative combined program? If so, in what way would you suggest do this?

While collaborating ideas would be great, I agree with @dduquette's point that it's not ideal to have organizations coming up with new programming when many are still trying to stay above water with their current programming. I just don't think we have enough funds to make a big, collaborative plan. But, I also think that no matter who we give the money to, because we are giving it to them in Steem and not $, there will inevitably be an element of educating them about blockchain. Maybe whoever we end up funding will have to include a note on their website about how the project/internship/etc was funded, directing more people to Steemit.
