For Original Owners Only

If you are unsure if you are the original owner of the NFT, use a blockchain explorer to search for your wallet address. Then, under the NFT section, you should see a transaction with the “action” value “mint,” your wallet address would be the first when looking at the token history.

Please use a trusted Ethereum blockchain explorer like https://etherscan.io. If you are not confident in your research, you should seek professional advice and not act as the original owner until you are sure.

An IRS Donation Letter (GiveBasicNeeds-NFT-Donation.pdf) will be coupled with your on-chain wallet information, which can be given to a certified tax advisor when filing.

We want to thank you for your support, regardless of whether our organization received royalties. We appreciate you and your support; the world is a little happier because of you.

Please take a minute to show your NFT to a friend and explain the impact of owning it. By joining us on Discord or social media, you’ll increase the impact of your donation. Please keep “Paying it Forward”!
