Donate Your Bitcoin to Charity!
Make a Difference With Bitcoin Donations
At Crypdonate, we work with a number of charities from around the world. Our mission is to connect these charities to Bitcoiners who would like to donate money to the causes they believe in.
Some of the charities that we support include:
- Emergency aid for war victims in Sudan and for Earthquake victims in Syria and Turkey. These emergency aids are usually set up when unprecedented events like natural disasters occur. In this case, we partner with an organization that works on the ground and get your bitcoin to the people in need as fast as possible.
- Education programs in various countries, including the Light of Love program in India, which is a school program that supports disabled children. The Sacred Valley Project, which provides education access to girls in Peru, and the ‘Our Sansar’ project, an education project that targets street children in Nepal, and more.
- Environmental projects worldwide, which is our contribution to making Bitcoin more environmentally friendly by helping conserve nature projects using BTC donations.

Promoting Bitcoin adoption through donations:
Bitcoin donations not only promote charitable purposes but also drive the adoption of Bitcoin. The donation platform Crypdonate.Charity specifically promotes charities that have had nothing to do with Bitcoin before, with the aim of these organizations holding Bitcoin independently in the long term and paying their suppliers with it. This change does not happen overnight, but the acceptance of Bitcoin donations, even if they often still have to be exchanged for fiat currency today, is an important first step in this direction.
Real adoption occurs when organizations / people outside the Bitcoin scene are encouraged to engage with the topic, rather than remaining in the Bitcoin bubble.
Image boost for Bitcoin:
Unfortunately, Bitcoin still has a negative image in the mainstream. BTC is wrongly referred to as an environmentally harmful currency or as a means of payment exclusively for criminals. Bitcoin donations to charities can demonstrate that the Bitcoin community wants to change the world for the better. Furthermore, the needy who are supported by Bitcoin donations have a positive entry into the topic and often engage with it for the first time.
