banderini [BANDA]

banderini is committed to donating 10% of pool fees to charities that support the homeless, including refugees.  Homelessness is more often than not a direct effect of the broken system that Cardano is attempting to change.  Financial and social pressure as a result of a world increasingly unequal and not working for the many could lead some people to end up without a roof over their heads, something we can all take for granted.

The mission of the Wish Stake Pool is to help families overcome difficulties brought about by poverty.  We aim to do this by pledging at least 10% of our profit to charities that help support the educational needs of disadvantaged children.  We believe that if a child has proper education, the child can potentially lift his/her family out of poverty in the future.  In short, we want to eliminate poverty through education– one student at a time.

Piggy Bank [PIGGY]

I am a software engineer for the past 16 years and have only recently become involved in crypto currency.

I live in the UK where we are vaccinating a lot of the population, but this is not the case with most of the world and won’t be for a long time, so I would like to help where I can. I will donate 20% of my pool fees to GAVI for the duration of the COVID19 pandemic. Unfortunately I believe this will be quite some while.

I am focused on animal focused charities and I want to help as many different charities in this space as possible. I think that we can help so many different animals and wildlife through the support of Cardano and that is why I am committed to donate 1/3 of the variable margin fee to charity. The margin fee is 2% and I am also committed to keeping that fee consistent to help delegators so they don’t have to deal with changing fees.

We love to see their peachy smile. You can follow our charity project on our website.

This world won’t be possible if we don’t heal the environment at the same time : the best technology in an empty shell is useless.

SEAL

We love seals and other wild animals and we want to support them. Cardano staking is an efficient way to easily help yourself to gain some extra ADA, while supporting the Cardano network decentralization. In the process, pool operators are receiving some reward as well. We believe these rewards could be used for a good thing – and that’s what we are trying to do here: At least 10% of pool profits will be donated to seal sanctuaries and zoos all over the world.

Knights of Cardano [KNGHT]

We donate 25% of pool fees to organizations that help preserve historical and cultural heritage against natural and human-made disasters (such as conflicts, looting, and pillaging). There are many historical treasures that are in danger around the world, and they are irreplaceable. To use crypto-language, you could say that they are non-fungible: once lost, there is no recovery! So it is our duty to respect it and actively protect this universal patrimony.

ACID Stake pool [ACID]

I’m hoping to mint blocks and share the gain with a few charities built by amazing people. They do a lot to help migrants that are left alone in camps in France and the UK. In those complicated times, we need to demonstrate we can help each other, wherever you are coming from.

WeQanhet [WEQNT]​​

Our wish is to impact the lives of people living in remote areas (of developing countries such as: Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Southern Sudan and part of the Caribbean) simply by allowing them basic solar lighting. These are often people/villages not connected to their countries electrical source – thus not having the privilege like others living in the cities or suburbs.

[MnM] Minimum Fees Charity Pool

MnM charity pool’s mission is helping those that need it most in developing countries. Running with network minimum fees and donating 10% of all fees to charities bringing clean water, medical, educational and vocational help to struggling children and families in developing nations. 

Please see our website for the charities supported (initially Tear Fund, International Needs & Mercy Ships). My family and I have personally donated to, and sponsored children through, these charities over the years; therefore, I trust them and the excellent work they do.

I have strong opinions about how a charity pool should be run. Too many groups claim to donate to charity without outlining clear amounts, donation timing (year end?), or providing proof of donation. It is prudent to maintain a healthy skepticism of such claims.

MnM pool's donations are completely transparent, and publicly posted on Twitter, enabling delegator scrutiny.

[PILOT] Pilot Pool

Pilot Pool aims to raise awareness for the disease of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by donating 10% of all pool fees to support the Multiple Sclerosis Federation.

[DONO] Donation Pool

Dono Pool is dedicated to donating all profits to charity and promoting decentralization by supporting single pool operators.  We aim to provide eco-friendly staking and transition to a trustless charity pool once DAO as a service is more readily accessible.  The long term vision is to allow delegates to nominate and fund a cause of their choosing, much like a micro Project Catalyst.  These donations would be tax deductible for the individual based on portion of pool stake, with receipts sent to delegates through metadata.

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.

CO2 Pool [CO2P]

Our mission is connecting PoS blockchain technology and crypto enthusiasts with climate activists, working today for a better world of tomorrow. Once a year, we donate 50 % of our collected pools marge to climate action initiatives.

Koala Pool [KOALA]

Missions: 1. At least 10% profit spent on supporting Koala population survival. Preservation of Koala habitat also helps many other species. 2. Expand to support other endangered species. 3. Build governance tools to allow stakepools to transform into democratic structures. 

AFRIK POOL [AFRIK]

Our mission is to help Africa. 20% of our profits is donated monthly to charity, our goal is to increase it over time. In the short term, we would like to empower people in Africa.

[SWAG] SWAG Stakepool

The team at SWAG Stakepool wants to impact the world in many different ways. We understand that everyone needs a support system, some more so than others. We want to do our part to make this world better than it was yesterday. Which is why we’ve set up an address and 10 percent of our proceeds will be donated to charity. We’ve chosen to support the March of Dimes because we believe life is a gift and we want all mothers to have the support they need during pregnancy!

[WOOK] Wookie Nation

The mission of the Wookie-Nation stake pool consists of key areas that we feel passionately about in our quest to make our universe a better place, including:
Supporting local Pit Bull Rescue services in order to save the lives of these “little wookies” that people have abused, neglected, and stigmatized. We are taking a percentage of operator profits and donating them to local animal shelters that are “little wookie” like-minded. Donations made to Bama Bully Rescue (https://www.bamabully.org/ )  and Alabama Pit Bull Rescue (https://pitbull.rescueme.org/Alabama)

100% of the rewards will be destined for that purpose.
