Supporting Autism and Mental Health Awareness
LonerGirl is a 10,000-piece Women-led NFT collection supporting mental health, autism, and the arts. Affordability was a priority; minting a Loner Girl was 0.001 ETH, roughly $3 at the time. That’s a bear-market-friendly deal!
Accessibility was another priority. Don't know how to buy an NFT? Join their discord. One of their incredibly patient mods, Neuro Pandas and Korndawgs, will happily walk you through the process and have you feeling like a seasoned NFT degen in no time.
LonerGirl immediately stood out from other NFT projects because they were focused on raising Autism awareness (the only project doing it as far as we’re aware). Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, the art is VERY cool. With different traits representing many races and cultures, it's easy to find a LonerGirl that fits You. My favorite trait is the Vampire teeth!
Autism awareness and support were essential to LonerGirl because their artist and founder, KN, has a son on the spectrum. Her sister, BD, is the other founder (and recently had a baby! Congrats!).
They sold out their collection and, in April 2022, donated 20% of their initial profits to Easterseals, the largest provider of early intervention services in Hawaii that helps children and adults on the spectrum get needed resources at no cost to families.
In a marketing landscape FULL of empty promises, LonerGirl vowed to support a mental health cause and delivered. And they're not done. With an impressive total trade volume of almost 100 ETH, they’ve committed to continue donating 10% of their royalties to other mental health focused charities at the end of every calendar quarter.
These charities are community driven. LonerGirl takes charity submissions from individual community members and then chooses through a community vote… Maybe in a few months, MHC can be on that list?
Is there a mental health charity you want them to support? (at the time of writing this article) Their Q2 voting is ending soon! Head to their discord for more info.
Are you looking for up-and-coming projects? LonerGirl also regularly provides presale spots for their community from NFT projects supporting and uplifting women and underrepresented communities; Female Pleasure Society, Galactic Gaylords, Laurentina, and Teenage Innovators, to name a few.
On our weekly podcast, they revealed they’re releasing a NEW collection soon! If you're interested in joining the Lonergirl Community and supporting mental health and autism awareness, please check out their LinkTree.
The Mental Health Collective is looking for positive mental health focused NFT projects (post-mint). Through a partnership, we’ll help expand their mental health support and content for their communities.
If you’re interested or know of a good NFT project ideal for an MHC partnership, please DM us on Twitter @Web3MHC.
