For Non-profits to Be Able to Change the World, Trust Is Essential

For Sheltersuit, as with all non-profit organisations, trust is not only essential but existential. How can donors know that organisations are indeed following through with their claims? How can they be sure that their donations are helping those that need it most, and not surreptitiously lining the pockets of some executive?

Identifying which incoming invoices are legitimate

Knowing in what stage invoices are at any given time

Maintaining accurate bookkeeping records for years to come

Compliance with VAT, the EU’s eInvoicing Directive, and other taxation regulations

The vision was clear

Turn time consuming traditional accounting practices into one that is both largely automated and less fallible.

The mintBlue Solution:
Full Transparency, Every Step of the Way

mintBlue’s unalterable distributed ledger solution allows all of Sheltersuit’s actions to be notarised and independently verifiable.

Ethical
Sourcing

Transparency in their supply chain means that both Sheltersuit and donors can be confident that materials have been sourced from ethical partners around the world.

Production Monitoring

As raw materials are turned into Sheltersuits, records of fair wages and adherence to labor standards are notarised on the distributed ledger.

Aid
Distribution

While respecting the privacy of the aid recipients, independently verified confirmation of delivery proves that the aid goes to those that need it most.

Donation Tracking

From initial donation through all of the stages above, donors can see exactly where their money has gone.

Looking Ahead: Trust in a Post-Truth Age

Now, perhaps more than ever, the concept of “truth” has never felt more fluid. By swinging open their doors, and their books, non-profits can prove that they’re putting their (donors’) money where their mouth is.

Our vision for the future is simple: enable non-profits to prove their stories and (potential) donors to judge for themselves.

The more transparency, the more trust, the more success a non-profit can have in achieving their goals.

Potential adoption by other EU member states, creating a more unified and efficient European tax system

Integration with digital identity initiatives, such as self-sovereign identity (SSI) and verifiable credentials (VC), further streamlining administrative processes

Expansion to other areas of taxation, building on the proven success of VAT automation
