Giving Compass' Take:

• Cordell Carter II, writing for Medium, explains how blockchain start-up called injii can help advance the philanthropic sector. 

• How can cross-sector collaboration (technology and philanthropy) can engage with social problem-solving? How will introducing blockchain into philanthropy disrupt traditional systems? 

• Read about how blockchain is being used for social good. 


Thanks to a combination of factors, the philanthropic sector (also known as the social sector — which includes traditional 501c3 organizations, corporate social responsibility initiatives, social entrepreneurs, B-Corps, inter alia) is booming.

I have witnessed the sector grow really fast and have two observations: firstly, mergers and acquisitions as a growth strategy is under-used in the philanthropic sector (reading between the lines here, there is too much redundancy which confuses investors) and secondly, in spite of our worthy objectives, leaders in this sector are expected to be every bit as innovative as leaders in other sectors — so we must continue to learn in order stay ahead of the game.

This is where a new blockchain start-up called injii comes into play. Justin Paul, the founder, blended his love of music and tech to create a coin-based platform that reduces the costs of fundraising by connecting content creators with their favorite charities.

Injii is about to the change the game for the philanthropic sector and I am excited about this new avenue of fundraising. I invite you all to join me in leveraging this tool because our causes are too important for any of us Type-A leaders to hog it all for ourselves. Though I do have first right of refusal to MeLyn’s performance on the Injii platform…not kidding.
