More Than Just Digital Coins
In the age of digital everything, Pledge has taken a leap into the future with the launch of PledgeCrypto. This platform allows nonprofits to accept crypto donations in over 130 cryptocurrencies, including major players like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Tether (USDT). But wait—there’s more! Not only can these organizations collect crypto, but they can also convert those donations into fiat money without breaking a sweat.
Ariana Grande Takes the Stage for Trans Rights
Enter pop sensation and advocate extraordinaire, Ariana Grande. She’s teaming up with Pledge to raise funds for LGBTQ organizations, specifically focusing on the protection and support of transgender youth through her own charity, the Protect and Defend Trans Youth Fund. And in a show of commitment, she’s willing to match donations up to a whopping $1.5 million. Talk about turning your passion for a cause into some serious cash!
Donation Made Easy
What really sets PledgeCrypto apart is its user-friendly approach. The platform doesn’t require technical prowess or a PhD in cryptocurrency. No crypto wallets? No problem! Plus, you can forget about the complicated Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. It’s as easy as clicking a button—and who doesn’t love easy?
Global Impact Through Charity Partners
Pledge has rounded up a robust list of collaborators to amplify their philanthropic efforts. Partners include the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles, Big Brothers and Big Sisters LA, Streetcode Academy, and even Taraji P. Henson’s Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. So, if you’ve ever thought about donating, you can do it knowing it’s going to really make a difference.
Going Green in the Digital World
To top it all off, Pledge is also committing to the planet. Each crypto transaction contributes to verified carbon offset initiatives through the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative. Now your donation not only helps those in need but also plays a part in combating the environmental impacts of cryptocurrency mining. 🪙🌍
2021: A Banner Year for Crypto Philanthropy
As we reflect on 2021, we can’t ignore the staggering statistics regarding crypto donations. Contributions surged to an impressive $69.6 million, a far cry from the $4.2 million reported in 2020—talk about a growth spurt! The crypto donation volume skyrocketed by 1,558%, which is almost 16 times the previous year. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a revolution.
Crypto’s Role in Global Affairs
But it’s not just about charities in the U.S. In March, as war raged on in Ukraine, government officials partnered with major crypto exchanges to create a donation platform enabling individuals to assist in the fight against Russia with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Clearly, crypto is stepping up in more ways than one.
