[00:00:00] Well, we found a reoccurring guest, well I’ll say organization joining us today from endowment, and they are helping turn crypto holdings into crypto givings, which is a topic that I love. I just love it. I’m long crypto philanthropy. Alexis Miller donor Engage. Strategic partnerships Lead at Endowment is joining us today.
[00:00:32] Kind of as a follow up to our conversation a year ago. We’ll put that in the show notes. And Alexis, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Master’s degree in Social work, Went on to donor services officer and Baltimore Community Foundation. So definitely kind of one of us, as well as working at, uh, Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore.
[00:00:56] So now you have landed at endowment, and maybe for our newer listeners, can you explain what endowment spelled? Endowment? Mm-hmm. . I’m not pronouncing it right. I feel like you really have to put M faces on the Dow. Can you explain what. Yes. Thank you for having me, George. And for that introduction. So endowment, spelled E n d a o m e n T.
[00:01:22] I always try to, sometimes people Google us and can’t find us because we’re spelled d a o, not d o w, like the traditional way. We are a 5 0 1 C three. Non-profit community foundation that essentially exists for the crypto community. So we are built on the Ethereum blockchain, so our actual non-profit entity structure is built using.
[00:01:46] Blockchain technology, and we essentially serve as that community foundation resource. So we were created really to solve two problems. The first is to allow a tax compliant and easy way for donors to be able to give Crypto or NFTs. And on the flip side, allowing non-profits to be able to receive donations that originated in crypto.
[00:02:10] No cost to the nonprofit. So that is a little bit of what we do. I will get into the details, but our kind of bread and butter is our crypto donor advised fund. So similar to other community foundations that offer a donor advised fund, charitable checking account. Essentially we do the same just using crypto.
[00:02:30] Maybe we can make sure that this makes sense, because I feel like there was a lot of words with lots of words, a lot of acronyms, because that’s what technical people seem to enjoy doing by making a ton of acronyms. Maybe we start with the, as you were explaining, Dow and what that actually means. The d a o as I understand it.
[00:02:52] What, what, what does that actually mean as it’s part of your name? It is part of our name, so, DOW stands for a decentralized autonomous organization and basically what that means. An organization or an entity where the decisions are being made by the community as opposed to like a top down approach. So having your CEO or your executive director make all of the decisions, you’re actually putting voices into the hands of your community or stakeholders to have a say in how the organization is run.
[00:03:28] So that. A term that’s used widely in the crypto space is a dow, but the concept is something that other folks are using just maybe in a little bit of a different way. So in short, we’re talking about a daf, but. For crypto. Is that a fair quick summary? Yes, yes. Another acronym. You know, like it’s, it’s funny, my, my a donor advised fund.
[00:03:53] You’re right. Yes. We’re gonna have a lot of gloss. It’s all good. It, it’s funny cuz you know, my background’s in non-profit and I feel like non-profits use a ton of acronyms and like insider language. And now I’m in this fine, I’m kind of balancing the non-profit world with the crypto world. And they also use a ton of acronyms, very different acronyms, but you know, gotta get used to both of the lingos for sure.
[00:04:16] So let’s just make this tangible. Somebody has a crypto windfall. They’re then interested in deploying that capital for social impact, making the

This War of Mine | Game 1, Part 1 [Video]

This was recorded during my stream to raise money for United for Ukraine, a charity providing support to those who have been affected from the war in Ukraine! https://tiltify.com/@ladygameshine/aid-for-ukraine~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Recently updated with This War of Mine: Final Cut!This War of Mine: Final Cut is the conclusive, remastered edition of the game that contains all the updates and free expansions released so far and introduces not only a new scenario but also expands all scenarios with the locations known from Stories DLCs - even if you don’t own those. In short words - that means you can now experience lots of never-seen-before playthroughs and struggle with new challenges.It has been a long road. However, all stories must come to an end.This War of Mine has been giving you a thrilling experience of living through the war as a civilian for five years since its release. Numerous updates and expansions have broadened the experience and filled it with more shades and tonalities of hard civilian existence during wartime. Now, honoring the 5th anniversary of the original release, 11 bit studios proudly presents to you This War of Mine: Final Cut.This War of Mine: Final Cut contains all the updates and free expansions released so far and introduces not only a new scenario but also expands all scenarios with the locations known from Stories DLCs - even if you don’t own those. In short words - that means you can now experience lots of never-seen-before playthroughs and struggle with new challenges.ABOUT THIS WAR OF MINE:In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find This War of Mine on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/This_War_of_Mine/ Find me at these other places!!Discord! https://discord.gg/y3qMQ54UnnTwitch! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesshineTwitter! https://twitter.com/Sunny_PenelopeSupport me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SunnyPenelope
