ADA Rewards - [ADAR]
Our mission is to extend financial opportunity to communities under-served by today’s banking system. Of course, ultimately, we think Cardano and the Marlowe ecosystem will play a big part in that. For now, though, we intend to work through KIVA (www.kiva.org). I became familiar with this organization through my workplace giving campaign. They do a fantastic job bridging those with ambition but little access to capital to first world donors. A minimum of 10% of pool owner’s profits will be donated to KIVA, where for each $1 donated they are able to facilitate $8 in loans. Also, on occasion, we will fund loans ourselves to showcase engagement opportunities.

Our mission is to close the technology gap in underrepresented minorities. We do so by donating our time and money to organizations that are working in empowering students in minority communities. The pool operators volunteer as coding class instructors to provide free coding classes for middle and high school students. Since the program started in February 2020, we have been able to reach more than 80 students from the USA, Netherland, Ethiopia, and South Africa. In addition to time donation, we are committed to donating 10% of our net pool fees to help this cause. Additionally, we are working on building a set of free dashboards to help SPOs and ADA owners analyze Cardano data easily. This is still a work in progress but you can see the first dashboard we built here.

Responsible Staking [VITAL]
Our mission is to support social stability. The development of Crime is rising constantly. The main reason for this is social imbalances with several contributing factors. One key factor is by bad integration of displaced persons and refugees. Providing education and work for refugees is a key element to fight social imbalances and increase safety. To support exactly those 2 key aspects our first donation goes to Lobby16 which is providing education to refugees and also helps finding a Job and therefore being better integrated.
We want to make the world a safer place for all of us. -
