Happy Goat Web3 Lite Paper

Mission

Build a creative wonderland that sits on top of a regenerative farm that supports artists and creators of all different backgrounds, the Happy Goat community, and the greater web3 community at large
Create a new, better nonprofit model using web3 technology as a backbone

NFTs that provide value as art, as utility (access), and that give ownership (DAO)
simple donations via ETH and alternate cryptocurrencies

Introduce people to philanthropy via creativity, art, and experiences that bring awareness and affect change to the climate crisis and food justice without being preachy

Genesis NFT Project

Pieces of generative art that serve as art and as membership to the entire Happy Goat ecosystem

collaborations, airdrops, and allow lists for follow up collections
merch drops
events, workshops, and parties off-property (NFT NYC, Metaverse Miami, etc)
regular member days at Happy Goat (starting late Spring / early summer 2022)
first access to tickets for Happy Goat special events (limited availability)
token-gated access to reservations at Happy Goat’s resort (TBD)
governance over certain nonprofit aspects (fund allocation, carbon credits, etc)

The Physical Space

8K sq feet and 6k sq feet
Larger barn will house creative space, recording studio, multi-use gathering space, etc, for our members and community
Smaller barn houses animals and farm equipment, small gym

Genesis Project Financials

Farm, creative buildout, and year one operating expenses fully funded via private donation
NFT project funds operating expenses, community activities, and onsite activities
Separate donations (in eth/btc/usd/etc) go to offsite climate and food projects as voted on or proposed by the NFT holders & team

Membership Access at Happy Goat’s Physical Space

Community Days These loosely structured gatherings can be single-day or weekend events. They will occur with regularity, have a low level of planning involved, and can combine multiple elements on the farm.
Special Events These highly structured events occur less frequently and are focused on a specific “thing.” That thing could be something seasonal like a harvest, a launch of something new, a concert, or a longer workshop-style weekend, etc…These events take more planning and attendance may be limited.
Volunteering A great chance for members to get their hands dirty and contribute to Happy Goat. Volunteering opportunities differ throughout the year and the season, but there’s always plenty of work to be done. Inquire ahead of time so we can give you an idea of what’s currently going on at the farm.
Reservations Once we have our glamping tents built, members will have access to these as well. This will probably be an additional cost, but discounted, and will also give members early access to book these structures ahead of the general public. These will be a very high-end luxury glamping experience.
