Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty

In 2022 cotap continued its primary activity of helping individuals and organizations worldwide To address their unavoidable Carbon emissions while creating income for the poor. During 2022, individuals and organizations offset 17,564.674 tonnes, raising $237,123.10 in funding for our partner projects in nicaragua, uganda, india, fiji, indonesia, and mexico. Though 2022 reflected a strong trajectory over 2020, overall donations decreased from 2021. This was due in part To a market crash for cryptocurrency, which had accounted for significant 2021 revenue growth. Further, a major website hack in september occurred right before the q4 giving season. Though the hack also severely stunted recent progress in maximizing our in-kind google ads grant with our new vendor, we recovered To ~$40k in monthly grant spend by december. Cotap participated in its third stakeholder event for the plan vivo foundation and Carbon standard in september. In november, cotap embarked on its third partner project visit To the khasi hills community redd+ project in meghalaya, india. In january 2023 we released a 20-minute documentary about the visit entitled may the forest be with you: cotap visits the khasi hills, which highlights the projects activities, accomplishments, and community benefits.
