FBSG has launched NFTs for auction
FBSG has launched its first ever #NFTforgood. In collaboration with leading metaverse architects Smobler Studios, FBSG has released 3 sets of art NFTs featuring FBSG’s OG foodbanker, ‘Koorimo’. These NFTs have been put up for auction on OpenSea and each NFT is tagged with a unique utility that ties back to a FBSG initiative for our donors. The proceeds raised from the auction of the NFTs will go towards FBSG’s Bank Card Programme to support 10,000 beneficiaries with food and daily essentials.
“NFT is a cool and interesting way to use art to spread our messages. From ourmetaverse experiment, we hope to share lessons learnt with fellow non-government organisations (NGOs) so that they too can consider this space fortheir fundraising efforts,” said Nichol Ng, Co-founder of FBSG.
