No, wanna be the first?!

I do not donate to projects without investigating a little bit.

With so much corruption in this world you start to think if the money will actually go to help those who they claim to help.

EDIT:
I voted "No, but i want to".

I actually wanted to reply "No". However after seeing "HumbleBundle", I remembered that I made some purchase with them. And hence that mean I have make a few donations with Bitcoin through HumbleBundle.

I made a thread similar to yours last year. Located at here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1133696.0. It is outdated and maybe it is time for a new thread. Keep the list of donation coming. :).

I don't know if this counts but I have transacted BTC with someone who invested for me in a p 2 p micro lending platform to underprivileged folks in India

i have donated to seans outpost
i done give aways,
i have given to foodbanks (actual food to the local outlet(paid for using btc), not funds to the HQ)
i have funded projects


but its always best to investigate and question everything. including looking at how much of a cut the middle men take.
EG
red cross only give 8% to the front line needs.. rest is usually wasted, so try to stay clear of the international corporate not-for profits.
they dont declare profits because they waste the excess(profit) purely to show they dont make profit...

I didn't donate with bitcoin, but i saw that group of people reciving donation with bitcoins for education in African countries. Maybe i will make a donation.

No i don't trust in giving donation to social organization most of them don't spend all those donation for usefull work. Almost 80% of them get spent in maintaining the organization and paying their staffs.

If you're in the mood for donations, you might want to donate at Sci-Hub. It's accessible via their IP for now since http://sci-hub.io looks down.

They're an organization trying to break down the 'pay-wall' knowledge barrier to scientific journals. As you can see research journals is a lucrative business for publishers, so giving these academic materials out to the public for free helps a LOT.

I'm donating every now and then, and I'm recommending you to do so too.  ;D ;D

No, but i want to
i was never using my bitcoin to make a donation for charity but might be someday i would do it but currently i don't have any plan using my bitcoin for donation

No, because I do not make any donations with my fiat money because I do not have extra money to share.
so why would I donate with btc?!

Yes , Many times .
I am student , Part-time worker and have much spare money to donate . So whenever i withdraw my money from exchange i donate 5$ to 10$ to a (cancer) Hospital . After donating they send me an email confirming that they have received my donation.

Actually the Tsunami disaster in Japan was one of the key motivators to investigate bitcoin as a way to securely transmit money to local organizations without paying incredibly high fees to the banks.
In the end, it did not work out, so the money went to another trustworthy relief organization who had local accounts.
But I've bought a bit at Humble Bundle, and donated to free software projects that I use. Relief organizations are often too conservative to consider bitcoin, although it would be a perfect match.

no i never. still not such a plane, but i can hope that a time will come when i will donate from my bitcoins when i will will a descent amount of bitcoin. when i will have a regular business regarding bitcoins. then i will donate bitcoins.Inshallah

Good to know that you donated money to hospital. However, it will be good if you email them asking them to accept Bitcoin as donation too - since you have donated many time. If they accept Bitcoin, I will also donate a few dollar worth of Bitcoin to the hospital. I believe the others who follow this thread will also do the same.

This thread is asking about donating using Bitcoin and not fiat (even if it is exchanged via Bitcoin), I believe.

back in the early adoption of bitcoin there was a poker
site I forget the name that gave 10% of free roll tourney wins
to doctors without borders. So I won 2 bitcoin so .2 was donated.

was a pretty good idea and wish more places did things like this. You
feel good about donating but dont have to come out of pocket

I did donate to Red cross during the Nepal earthquake but that's the only donation I have made using BTC, though I do make other donations periodically to local institutes using fiat. The linux distro I am using right now doesn't accepts Bitcoin, only paypal which I don't use, I have suggested this to them and if they begin accepting BTC, I'll send something right away.

I havent experienced making a donation with bitcoin yet. As i dont have enough funds and its just enough for myself. But if ever I have i would love to try it in the near future.

With BTC you can donate any amount & finally lose your BTC virginity BTC by making the world a better place.

I like BitGive Foundation, the 1st BTC 501 C 3  (First "Legal" Non-profit BTC org based in USA)

I want to make a donation.
whats the minimum donation can be made at above site.

Yes, I've donated in the past. It would be best to not trust any website that says donate something and it will be sent to a charity since most of them try to manipulate and none of those charities get to have anything delivered to them, but instead we should send directly to the charity of our choice (which some already are known). Unfortunately I've donated more to known individuals rather than some charities since I haven't been convinced if donated earnings would be put into good plan (a lot of manipulations goes with these types of cases).

Well actually when i exchange my bitcoins there is an option stating thdonatew much bitcoins you want to donte to hospital . So i just put the amount equivalent to 5$ say 0.01 and the exchange sends that amount to hospital.  I don't  think that hospital accept bitcoins . The exchange just converts the bitcoins to local currency and sends the money to hospital. The point is that i pay my bitcoins as donation  so i don't care whatever they do with bitcoins actually i made the donation with bitcoin right? . When i get message from hospital that they received my donation i get relief that my donation is in good hand , it will be used for good purpose.

so far I have never donated bitcoin I have, it's probably because I also need them. bitcoin I need to grow my business, I would probably donate bitcoin I have when I've been successful with my business

yes i have do that twice,first time i make donation with bitcoin when i give support to athlete,and second when people on this forum post a donation that accept bitcoin,its really easy and can be anonymous easily,and i think this new payment method was amazing.

Well, i never make a donation with bitcoin, maybe someday i will donate some of bitcoin, but until now i'm not still able to find a good one to donate my bitcoin.

my only "donation" was to buy some adspaces on sites that i like
also i made often netwokr advertises , but dont know if i can call this a donation XD

kind regards

if you fan of Formula 1 racing,you should know about Rio Haryanto,rider from Manor racing,and its indonesia people like me,and i ever make donation for him when he need so much money to get into manor racing team. proud because i can make donation with bitcoin ;D

I have never made a donation with bitcoin and I will never in future too, as I don't believe in charity and I will never donate my hard earned coins to anyone.

Try it and see!

There does not appear to be any minimum.

I would be surprised if someone thought it was a good idea to have a minimum required amount on donations to an organizations. It's probably more "profitable" for the organization to say "donate whatever you want" instead since it makes it look less like the organization requires a specific amount of money to be given to them. Plus if I felt like donating a dollar or so every day, that's still money they get as opposed to me forgetting about donating.

Right!

Bitcoin solves the problem of minimum donations due to credit card or paypal limits.

I just meant enough to cover the transaction fee!!!  LOL 

I will never do that, if someone is in need of money then I will pay him cash but I won't donate my bitcoin to anyone.

Once I invested in bitcoin doubler site without reading their FAQs.
That was my first investment to bitcoin doubler. So I started with the minimum.  :P

When the plan matured I was waiting for my payment.
But no payment came after 2 days of maturity, Than I checked their website to learn more.  >:(

There was written,
Below 200k satoshi, the deposit will be counted as donation.  >:(

So without knowing anything by myself, I made a donation to that company.  ;D

Yesssss! I made a donation.  :o

I would, but I'm not sure about how to ensure it would be tax deductible.

Yes! i did it while playing Primedice. Everytime i won something big, i tip randomly on the chatbox. Thats the place where i only donated someone. I haven't donated to a person from my wallet directly to his/her wallet.

I think people who have committed donations would never say that they make a donation because they do it with sincerity ?
so they will not say too much about it :D

yes i did make donations, i have donated to Electrum a couple of times i have also donated to other projects small amounts nothing too big. and also i have done some giveaways on reddit mostly in form of DogeCoin.
