Session 4: Sustainable digital foundations

The fourth in Giant Digital's Web3 series for charities, Maria (Mia) Marenco looks at some of the considerations for charities wanting to make the most of opportunities in the world of Web3. 

Mia's presentation looks at some of the advantages of using new technologies correctly from the outset, and how charities can future proof their digital activities with careful implementation. She also shares thoughts on what beneficiaries, donors and other external stakeholders might expect from charities operating within the Web3 space.

Web3 is an exciting area of digital development, but as Mia points out, exploring these new technologies should be done with careful consideration. Making sure your charity has a good understanding of Web3 and has safeguarded against potential threats is extremely important. As is ensuring you are a credible participant in the eyes of those interacting with your organisation. Her message - take expert advice when you can, it will serve you well in the longer term.

Other presentations in this Web3 series are available on our Giant Digital channel. Look out for our quarterly events for more charity digital inspiration!
