GirlCoder DAO
Disrupting Philanthropy for Girls In Tech Movements Globally
SOWCoders is a USA 501c3 non-profit that empowers girls globally with tech skills. We're launching a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as an experiment in democratizing and decentralizing our grantmaking.
About GirlCoder DAO
The GirlCoder DAO is a first-of-its-kind experiment to radically restructure grant-making, disrupting embedded power structures by putting donors in the driver’s seat. The GirlCoder DAO is controlled by its grantees and donors. Everyone gets the same vote.
A DAO (decentralized autonmous organization), is a blockchain-based organization governed by code instead of people. It’s community-owned by its members with a built-in treasury that nobody has permission to use without approval of the group.
The Big Green DAO is leveraging blockchain solutions that engage community members and organizations in a collective decision-making role by utilizing ERC-20 governance tokens to exercise cooperative input and control over a treasury of grant dollars.
As a collective experiment, this project will run from November 2021 through September 2022, at which time its operational successes, shortcomings and impacts will be assessed and the continued tenure of the project evaluated.
An additional requirement of this experiment is that the Big Green DAO stays within the IRS rules of a 501(c)(3) non-profit under United States of America law, to ensure that donations from U.S. taxpayers are tax-deductible. If the experiment is successful, we will look for ways to expand the reach of the Big Green DAO to other countries.
