The NFT would be used to represent responsibility for (patronage of) a particular impactful action. Just as with impact certificates as previously proposed, a person who, for example, runs EA Harvard for 2018, could put responsibility for this impact onto the marketplace. Buyers, when pricing this asset, can then evaluate how well EA Harvard did at creating things (that may be fungible) like number of EAs produced, or net effect on wellbeing, and pay accordingly.
I think it’s useful to sell responsibility for the impact of a particular action (which is non-fungible), rather than a some responsibility for some (fungible) quantum N of impact, so that the job of judging the impactfulness of the action can be left to the markets.
It might make more sense to call them “patronage” certificates, or similar. Because the certificates can really be bought or sold by patrons who value them for any reason, not just impact. Rather, there is some subset of the funders who are focused on impact and value the certificates on that basis. Basically, impact-oriented patrons. This name is easier to understand because we are familiar with people wanting & receiving credit for being the patron of some art, or as a funder on Patreon.
Ohh, I should’ve made this clearer.

Ah, that makes sense :-)
