Can Non-Profits Use OLPORTAL in Times of Crisis?

The world has been witnessing a crisis like never before since January 2020. Governments and the private sector are finding themselves in a very tight spot. They are failing to keep check of all the fast changes. They not only are failing to provide the human and physical infrastructure, but they are also failing to provide any competent information or moral support at the grassroots. They are also lacking in funds and supplies. And this failure of the governments to act proactively to provide relief to the people in distress is witnessed by us in most situations of crisis. This is also the case for private organizations.

Moreover, these inadequacies are not only limited to certain governments of the developing world, but these are also faced by countries of the developed world. As a result in times of crisis, several well-meaning organizations take up the task of serving those populations whom the governments fail to serve. They in fact, often go beyond the specific tasks that a government is mandated to perform. They fill in all the gaps in the services of the governments and private organizations.

These organizations involve more innovative methods, and in many cases prove to be more effective. They are also run and peopled with the members of the communities they work with. They also have affiliations with several research organizations and grant-making bodies which gives them both the expertise and the funds required to act much more efficiently than the governments.

Problems Faced by Non-Profit Organizations

However, often in cases of huge crises, the organizations run out of funds or human resources. They often have to rely on the voluntary support of the public in different forms. And they use various means to mobilize this support from different sections of the society. The support also takes varied forms like funds, physical support, or even knowledge and technical support.

Therefore, both communications from the organization about their requirements and the crises, as well as the different forms of resources flowing in from the public becomes crucial. The OLPORTAL platform can be crucial in both of these aspects, except for the physical resources.

How Can OLPORTAL be Useful?

The OLTarget service on OLPORTAL can be used to spread the news through any pre-existing chatbots or any chatbot developed by the organization in times of crisis. People who are looking out to provide such support can receive the messages through these in various forms. And in terms of raising funds, the organizations instead of setting up negative prices for the campaign can put some price on the chatbots for people willing to contribute to the cause and get to use certain features of the chatbot.

Such models can be used to both raise funds as well as raise awareness about the crises along with encouraging more people for contributing to the cause in different forms. These chatbots can be pre-installed with systems that can be used for making any form of financial contributions within the network in the form of the OLCF tokens.

People can even contribute by adding features or training these chatbots, and increasing their value, which will help in the process of fundraising. Such models can be very useful for smaller organizations who are need of alternative ways to raise funds.

Advantages of Using OLPORTAL

OLPORTAL being an online blockchain-based platform has immense visibility across the world. It has a dedicated community of users who are willing to contribute to different causes, increasing the accessibility of organizations to a large extent. Moreover, as a result of being driven by crypto tokens, international transactions will be much smoother on the platform compared to any other form of financial transactions. This gives a large donor base to the organization from across the world.

Moreover, this reduces the communication cost of the organizations. The chatbots to be exhibited by the organization will be only visible to the prospective donors due to OLTarget’s algorithm, and therefore will be much more targeted. The organizations will not have to spend on larger media campaigns for getting their message across. Also, this form of campaigning can be more reliable, because of the use of smart contracts.

Parting Words

All this can make the working of non-profit organizations much more cost-effective and efficient in general. Therefore, for smaller organizations that are struggling in these times of crisis, OLPORTAL can be of great advantage.
