Global Mission Driven News Room

What does success look like?

A strongly motivated team willing to reach out to a minimum of 193 countries and 500SPO's. Plan to inform and direct new participants towards providing a contribution that improves Catalyst's ROI.

Sustainable ADA will be focusing on all the language groups within the Cardano ecosystem and aiming to get a story written by a writer, at least one person representing each country in the world, and talking about their connection with Cardano, blockchain, and sustainability. 

We plan to provide resources for educators and activists to confidently introduce blockchain technology into people's lives; highlighting the sustainable advantages and positive impact to ripple and create meaningful impacts within the broader community.

We will be focusing also on Stake Pool Operators (SPOs), especially Mission Driven Pools (MDPs) as they are a group currently lacking broader spotlighting, with their stories told about their experiences and contributions to the ecosystem. 

We plan to have an article/interview with all the major alliances and their members and work our way through the SPO list once funded.

During Fund 6 Sustainable ADA will be researching and contacting each SPO group and alliance to get a database of contacts for each continent of SPOs so that we can interview, and write an article that showcases them and their alignment with Sustainability, SDGs, and more. 

We will also commence outreach activities with each national government in the world (institution, civil society, and more) to get writers ready and interested in joining the Sustainable ADA team.

Our Impact, Feasibility, & Audibility

Impact: creating global impact by onboarding stakeholders into the community with their stories and participation engaged. We seek to engage and involve the participation of Cardano's global multilingual, multicultural community in our Sustainable ADA news story telling.

Feasibility: We have global links and a globally diverse community that are supportive and open! If someone can visit all the countries in the world at least once, then we believe our proposal is achievable as we are committed and engaged community members!

Auditability: we will commit to sharing updates on the project through our social media channels like Twitter, Linked In, etc.

Host break out rooms in community meeting.  Sharing a page on our site with a countdown from our target of total countries connected with (193 Member States according to UN - https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states , we can go beyond this measure!)

Experience & Tools:

The Sustainable ADA team has experience working with Figma, Canva, Wix, Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci Resolve 17, Adobe CC, Microsoft Products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc).

Sustainable ADA has the experience and a background in Sustainability, Economics, Humanities, Social Sciences. Along with work with NGOs, Social Enterprises, Freelance journalism, and blogging.

Sustainable ADA Platform: (https://www.sustainableada.com)

We plan on keeping track of our impact, while looking to increase meaningful participation from proposers, advisors, and voters through storytelling across the 193 countries, and the experiences from SPO's helping make contributions within and outside the Cardano Ecosystem.

Key metrics to measure:

• Calculate the total number of new participants from different countries (sign ups on site, sign ups of newsletter, map of site visits, social media locations engagement etc)
• Track % of these new community members who become community advisers?
• Track % of these new community members who watch town halls?
• Track % of these new community members who vote?
• Track % of these new community members who proposes?
• Track % of these new community members who become referrers?

• Using our site, input forms, and social media channels to track the above
