Blockchain for Impact (BFI)

Blockchain For Impact (BFI) is a catalyst funder from the global blockchain industry that, in coordination with fellow partners, strives to forge multi-sectoral collaborations that deliver long-term and equitable preparedness mechanisms to address India’s overstretched and under-resourced healthcare infrastructure and help marginalized and vulnerable communities. Founded by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon (aka Matic), who brought together a community of innovators to help the people of India tackle the Covid-19 health crisis, BFI takes over the baton from the CryptoRelief fund initiative, with a mission to create transformational change in the health infrastructure, leveraging skills, technology, organizational network, and funds alongside like-minded partners to support the public health system - now and in the future. The next big focus is to promote community health with a national alliance for public health preparedness (or pandemic preparedness); help create a multi-sectoral collaborative virtual alliance in the biomedical field, set up a state-of-the-art Institute for Biomedical Research and Innovation, and strengthen the health systems across multiple districts in India in partnership with civil society, development organizations, state and central government with the India District Full Stack Fund.
