Open Town A new Web3 crowdfunding

for NGOs and local Govs working on community growth.

New Crowdfunding

Raise funds and gain supporters from around the world

NGOs, local governments, and businesses can boost communities with Open Town's NFT crowdfunding. Here NFTs are more than digital art, they’re a way of community participation, as more than token ownership, after purchasing a token you’ll receive special access to participating in the community.

The Open Town team will provide all necessary support to implement your project!

Support for issuing and selling NFTs

The Open Town team will support NGOs in the process of building the website, creating and selling the NFTs.

Community Formation Support

Open Town’s community team will support building a community online to ensure a more sustainable project management.

Past Projects

The earnings from the Savanna Kidz NFT project funded infrastructure for better studying conditions!

NGO Case Studies

Savanna Kidz Project, Karungu Village, Uganda

1st project: Installation of water storage tanks

During the last 20 years, the people of the Karungu village had no water storage tanks, so children had to walk around 12 km daily along a dangerous mountain route to get water from the local river. However, with the recent construction of a rainwater storage tank, the villagers now have access to drinking water.

2nd project: Construction of classrooms equipped with modern windows

This initiative was made possible by the collective vote of residents and NFT holders.

The previous classrooms were temporary structures that lacked windows, doors, and even floors. Thanks to the earnings from the Savanna Kidz NFT, a brand new and comfortable classroom was built to give a better learning experience to children.

The sales of Yokoze Color Pass NFT funded Web3 education for local Elementary and High School students

Municipal Case Studies

Yokoze, Chichibu, Saitama, Japan

[JOY LAB] is a project addressed to elementary and junior high school students and local residents, to help them learn Web3

Starting in January 2023, Yokoze Town offered 2 hours and 7-day Web3 course in Jan 2023, attended by students, residents, and NFT holders who created digital art and turned it into NFTs.

During the course, the students were able to create their own digital art, issue NFTs, and promote and sell their work

Elementary and junior high school students, as well as NFT holders from Yokoze Town, collaborated to create a variety of NFT artworks. During the NFT presentation, almost all of the participants expressed their desire to continue creating more NFTs in the future.

FAQ

Are there any initial costs?

Create a project doesn't require any special costs! However, community members are expected to be actively committed. This involves collaborating with the Open Town team to create NFTs and other creative work, generating ideas, carrying out ongoing social networking and promotions, and managing the community.

What is the screening criteria?

To be eligible for review, please ensure that you have a concrete project proposal that includes a broad project description and rewards, as well as a process for selling NFTs for a fee within the project.

How much is the commission fee?

There is a commission of 20% of the proceeds of Community participation certificates (NFT) sales for the Open Town platform

What is your preferred reward for the Community Participation Certificate (NFT) holders?

It would be great to have a project that continuously involves community participation certificates (NFTs). In the past, we have implemented some ideas, such as offering web3 learning courses where community members can learn the NFT creation process and communicate with each other, which would revitalize the local community.

We don't know a designer or artist within my NGO/municipality. Can we create NFTs?

No problem! Open Town's Creative Director can design the community's NFT on your behalf. However, this is limited to membership type designs that follow the NFT Art Guidelines.

Why is better to fundraise with NFTs?

There are two benefits to using NFTs: marketing and promotion, and transparency: 1.NFTs are a hot topic currently and can be used to promote businesses, municipalities, and NGOs, and attract new supporters. 2. Crowdfunding has been a centralized mechanism, which can make it unclear to supporters how their donations will be used. However, NFTs use blockchain technology to record purchases, providing a transparent transaction history to supporters.

What is Web3?

Web3 is a different kind of Internet compared to what you're used to. It enables people to share information with each other, rather than having a single entity collect information in one place. This allows multiple people to work together, such as in protecting the environment and animals, or in building a community where everyone can live comfortably. In addition, protecting information is vital, and Web3 can be utilized to safeguard important data and provide secure payment transactions for added peace of mind.
