World of Women and The Sandbox Partnership
The Sandbox is proud to be partnering with World of Women (WoW); the first-of-its-kind, culture shaping NFT community celebrating representation, inclusivity, and equal opportunities for all.
The Sandbox to give the WoW Foundation funding of $25M USD over 5 years, driving female inclusivity through education and mentorship.
WoW is set to launch the WoW Foundation, to bring more women and diversity of thought into the NFT and metaverse space. The Foundation will kick off with a $25M grant from The Sandbox with a mission to amplify the representation of women in decentralized web spaces.
World of Women and The Sandbox will work together to achieve its mission of enhancing the open metaverse and encouraging more female participation through a series of interactive experiences. These will occur through the WoW Foundation, and will focus on 4 main pillars: uplifting the ecosystem by supporting artists and funding projects; educating newcomers; communicating to give more visibility to women-centric causes, while inspiring others; and giving back to charities. The fund will also provide business development opportunities across the growing networks of The Sandbox, Animoca Brands, and Brinc. The Sandbox plans to support creators and guide them through success in Web3, from mentoring to funding their first mint to exhibitions in the metaverse and their first sale.
In addition to the WoW fund, there will be further developments to achieve the fund’s missions through multiple initiatives that will evolve during the course of the projects including:
- World of Women 3D interoperable Avatars, releasing 10,000 3D avatars during the Alpha 2 launch. The Sandbox acquired the most expensive WoW NFT at the time of purchase, named Aurora by the WoW community, and made her the new “Goddess” of the metaverse
- The WoW Museum, a stunning building on a 2×2 Sandbox land which will serve as a showcase for the WoW Foundation and support its actions
- The WoW University, which will provide free online lessons on how to get started with Web3 and become proficient. The lessons throughout the course will run through immersive experiences in The Sandbox. Upon completion, “students,” will get certified and receive an NFT diploma.
- The WoW Academy was built for projects and artists to act as an incubator and provide advice, funding, mentoring, and access to The Sandbox’s and World of Women’s network. The academy season will conclude in an NFT showcase to reveal the results achieved.
While the WoW Foundation focuses on different sub-sectors within the blockchain world, the funds initiative all carry the same objective to further invest in the women in the space, building long-term and equitable growth and opportunities in the industry.
