To further support mental health issues, 10% of the profit from Colin O’Donoghue NFT’s will be donated to Irish based non-profit SOSAD, which deals with mental health issues including suicide prevention. An additional 20% will be donated to Climate Institute, to help offset the carbon footprint of the NFTs.
