Adam Boalt, co-founder of EarthFund said:

We’re honored to have NeverAlone as the first cause token to launch on our platform. We started EarthFund to build a platform that lets everybody have more of a voice in the things that matter to them and that perfectly lines up with NeverAlone’s mission of creating a global movement supporting mental and emotional wellbeing. We knew that this partnership was a great fit from our very first meeting, and we can’t wait to see what the NeverAlone community does for such an important cause.

Users can swap EarthFund’s native token 1Earth for the NeverAlone token. This will let them join an online community, of which Deepak Chopra and actress and NeverAlone cofounder Gabriella Wright are part. They can crowdfund a treasury and choose which mental health projects receive funding.

Commenting the partnership, Gabriella Wright said:

We are very excited to fulfill the vision of NeverAlone by creating democratized access to mental well-being. We are all part of the solution and I believe that this token can build and empower a strong diverse global community that needs to be heard, more so than ever before.

Deepak Chopra, MD added:

I believe that each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and are here to contribute. That’s why we chose to collaborate with EarthFund, a platform that gives everyone the ability to participate and have a voice in making a more sustainable, peaceful, healthier and joyful world.

Poonacha Machaiah, cofounder of NeverAlone and Chopra Foundation CEO noted:

Our collaboration with EarthFund ensures that there is complete transparency, ease of communication, decentralized decision making, independence, and engagement of the community in the mental wellbeing project sponsorship, thereby leveraging the DAO and power of Web3.0.
