There are a lot of new tech buzzwords flying around of late, from NFTs to the metaverse to Web3. However, one of the most interesting of them is something called a DAO. Like cryptocurrency, DAOs, or decentralized autonomous organizations, operate on blockchain technology. The difference is that DAOs are made up of an organization of people who put money together in a contract to raise money for certain goals.

It’s been documented that blockchain technology can be harmful to the environment, but there are many innovators other there attempting to create “greener” DAOs. Here are the top ten DAOs in the social impact space.

1. Climate DAO

Climate DAO is attempting to combat climate change by coordinating large groups of people to help empower investors to make changes in climate-effecting companies. This will help eliminate the need for an investor with large sums of money to influence the decisions of the company. They are currently accepting investors on a waitlist. To sign up click here.

2. Big Green DAO

Late last year, Kimbal Musk, Elon’s younger brother, launched Big Green DAO. The goal of the organization is to dismantle hierarchies and give more power to nonprofits for grantmaking.
