EXAMPLES
Charity success stories
Read a short Q&A from charities already driving innovation with cryptocurrency: Alzheimer’s Research UK and British Red Cross.
Alzheimer’s Research UK
We saw accepting cryptocurrency donations as a way to engage a new demographic, specifically Millennials and Gen Z.
It lets us meet various donors where they are, and simply gives them more options. Plus, it’s a way to position ourselves as a forward-thinking organisation.
British Red Cross
We began considering crypto donations after multiple inquiries from donors.
The turning point was during our Ukraine appeal, when many people expressed a desire to support our charity with cryptocurrency.
Alzheimer’s Research UK
We’ve been accepting cryptocurrency donations since March 2023, and in that short time, we’ve received we’ve received thousands of pounds in crypto donations. We even received a donation made in Ethereum worth $4,500.
Cryptocurrency donations continue to come in, and this year we’re running a first-time appeal aiming to raise £10,000 via cryptocurrency donations alone by Christmas!
British Red Cross
Our average donation amount is higher for crypto donations, and we can tell we receive donation peaks during giving season and big news moments – cryptocurrency donors respond to emergencies quite quickly.
Alzheimer’s Research UK
We had some concerns initially; the main one being ensuring donations were converted to traditional currency immediately.
The Giving Block convert donations straight away at the time of donation, so we get the exact intended donation amount without ever holding or managing cryptocurrency, or worry about market value fluctuations.
Alzheimer’s Research UK
We were impressed by The Giving Block’s commitment to security and compliance – key for protecting our donors’ safety.
Resources explaining the simplicity and security and case studies of other successful organisations were helpful too.
British Red Cross
As a team new to cryptocurrency donations, we found The Giving Block had the expertise we needed. They convert donations immediately, so we don’t need to constantly monitor donations, even if they come in at 3 AM.
Additionally, we didn’t want to have to hold and trade cryptocurrency, which The Giving Block handles for us as well.
