Three embroidery artists, Katerina Marchenko from Russia, Aline Brant from Brazil and Ninni Luhtasaari from Finland, announced Thursday that they will auction their non-expendable token (NFT) art pieces to support Hope for the Future (HFTF), a registered charity. based in Austria. Proceeds from the auction will help human trafficking victims find entry-level jobs after their harrowing experiences.
The The sale of NFT will take place in Orica between December 27-30, and each piece has a minimum price of $ 500. The goal of the auction is to raise $ 10,000 for the employment program.
"Even when you offer survivors the chance to get out, they are mostly very traumatized by their experiences, have little knowledge of the local language and must first integrate step by step into normal life," said Hope For the future founder Andrea Staudenherz, adding:
"Unbelievably, these renowned embroidery artists are now able to support the work of our charity through Orica in different parts of the world. These NFTs give us hope that we can fund five days a week of training in 2022. Our current budget alone extends to four. "
Marchenko, who has more than 400,000 followers on Instagram, added: "I followed this year's enthusiasm for NFTs, but I needed a bigger reason than to be in this for the money. When Orica told me about the Hope for the Future campaign It was made that big of a reason for me. I'm excited to auction off my artwork for such an important cause. "

The intersection between philanthropic businesses and NFTs has developed rapidly this year. In one example, Orica partnered with Austrian registered charity Bbanga Project and German digital artist Mellowmann to host an NFT launch, with the proceeds going to the construction of a school in Uganda. In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service allows Good Samaritans to cancel their donations of crypto or NFT come from their ordinary income, so saving large tax dollars while donating to good causes.
