I wrote this short Medium article as if this idea was already approved by Scott and the Board of Directors at Charity Water. Similar to ‘The Pool’s’ landing page, I wrote this article or ‘press release’ as if Charity Water was introducing ‘The Wave’ to their community of incredible givers, ‘The First 365 Influencers’ and the public too.

My goal is to WOW each of you and more importantly to inspire Scott and other leaders at Charity Water to really consider ‘riding the NFT wave’ 🏄‍♂️🌊🏄‍♀️ by making ‘The Wave’ a core part of Charity Water’s 💛 strategy over the next 15 years so we can collectively solve our global 🌍 water 🚰 crisis in our lifetime. I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to help solve this global problem with Charity Water and I believe this is one way we can do it together 💛

JOIN US IN SHAPING THE FUTURE OF CHARITY

The Wave is an invite only community of influencers, celebrities, personalities, athletes, entrepreneurs and leaders that aspire to help Charity Water 💛 solve our global 🌍 water 🚰 crisis by 2035.

This new program is the first to use digital NFT’s in the nonprofit sector as assets to provide value and a once and a lifetime experience and opportunity for influencers who help fund clean water projects as a part of this exclusive invite only community. It will also be the first campaign of it’s kind because it’ll be a 15 year campaign involving 5,475 influencers as we try and solve the global water crisis by the end of 2035. 100% of the proceeds from this first ever 15 year long NFT project for Charity Water 💛 will go directly to providing clean water 🚰 for people in need.

Wave Invitees can become Members by donating or pledging $10,000 or more to charity: water. All Wave Members will each have the opportunity to become an Ambassador, Partner or a Member of the Rachel Beckwith Hall of Fame based upon the amount donated towards ‘The First 365 Days’ NFT.

Whether the invited influencers become an Ambassador, Partner or a Member of the Rachel Beckwith Hall of Fame, they’ll all have an opportunity to win ‘The First 365 Days’ NFT we’re going to mint and give away to one lucky winner at the end of 2022.

Ambassador Badge

To become an Ambassador, $10,000 must be donated. In return each Ambassador will:

Partner Badge

To become an official Partner, $20,000 must be donated. In return each Partner will:

  • Sponsor multiple water projects named after them
  • Be allowed to invite another influencer to be a part of ‘The Next 5000 Days’
  • Get 2 tickets 🎟 towards the drawing for ‘The First 365 Days’ NFT from 2019
  • Get 1 ticket 🎟 towards the drawing for another exclusive NFT that’s going to be minted from 2009

Rachel Beckwith Hall Of Fame

To become a HOF Member, $50,000 must be donated. In return, each HOF Member will:

For each additional $10,000 donated above $50,000, that influencer will get an additional ticket 🎟 towards ‘The First 365 Days’ NFT drawing that will be raffled at the end of 2022.

Here are the 365 pre-selected influencers that are invited to ‘Ride The NFT Wave’ 🏄‍♀️🌊🏄‍♂️ with us in 2022 as we look to create the most impactful NFT project society will ever see over the next 15 years as we aim to solve our global 🌍 water 🚰 crisis by 2035.

By 2036 There Will Be

A maximum of 5,475 exclusive NFT’s as a part of this Charity Water NFT project for clean 🚰 water.

Projecting The Amount Of Money Raised Over The Next 15 Years Through Charity Water’s 💛 NFT Project For Clean Water 🚰

Below I break down how much money will be raised by 2035 if 25%, 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% of the 5,475 invite-only influencers join this community and movement at the Ambassador, Partner and Hall Of Fame Member donation levels

Concluding With A Hypothetical Example With Gary Selling His Custom NFT On The Secondary Market

Let’s hypothetically say that Gary Vaynerchuk donates $50,000 and becomes a Rachel Beckwith Hall of Fame Member. Over time that exclusive NFT that he’ll receive will increase in value as this community grows. Let’s say that 10 years from now in 2031 Gary’s in a position to finally buy the New York Jets. Because thousands of influencers have been invited to and have joined this movement, it has increased the value for everyone’s NFT’s that have been a part of this giving community. Because of that Gary decides to sell his custom, unique, exclusive and one of a kind NFT on Open Sea in 2031 and it sells for $10,000,000. Because of the smart contracts that are built into the blockchain for any NFT purchase, if Charity Water constructs a 10% lifetime royalty for every transaction on the secondary market, then in this case Gary would get $9,000,000 and Charity Water would get $1,000,000, meaning Gary wins by supporting Charity Water and Charity Water wins (multiple times) by providing value to Gary and 5,474 other influencers over the next 15 years through this exclusive invite-only NFT project.

In Conclusion

If, or when, these influencers that are a part of this invite-only community decide to sell their exclusive, unique and custom NFT’s on a secondary market (as seen with Gary’s very successful project VeeFriends) that are created for them as a part of ‘The Wave’, then a % of the sale will come back to Charity Water 💛 so we can help support more people who don’t have access to clean water. Talk about a win-win scenario!

The Wave 🏄‍♂️🌊🏄‍♀️ is going to give Charity Water 💛 a real chance at solving our global 🌍 water 🚰 crisis in our lifetime. To Scott, the Board of Directors and any other important decision makers at Charity Water, I really hope you consider riding this wave with me so we can help hundreds of millions of people in need of clean water over the next couple decades ❤️

With love ❤️ from Trevor, the Charity Water 💛 Advocate and Gary Vee 🥊 Fan
