Title: Bitcoin Charitable Giving
Post by: SilverVigilante on September 26, 2013, 11:57:25 PM
Hello BTCTalkers,

I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction of the best known charities which accept bitcoins. Or emergency funds accepting BTC. Basically, I am looking for poor brown (or black) people, and puppies. (JK...)

Best,
SV

wait 5 minutes for the trolls stating their ethnic background and love of animals, followed by a bitcoin address.

on a serious note, the seans outpost thread is a worthwhile cause where you can see exactly how each satoshi is to be used

unlike these hypocritical international aid and oxfam companies that try to make you beleive etheopia is 100% this:

and many more pictures to show that things are not as bad as reported by charities.

Thanks Bitcoin Catalog! Jeff Berwick has organized a little charity and publicized his experience:

I have one. But it's just me gathering bitcoins to forward it to a charity. The major partner is Feed The Children. Website is www.feedthechildren.org

So I called my little participation Feed Some Children.

I'm actually aligned with the Nourish The Children. Feed The Children takes the donations in kind.

None of those orgs take bitcoins directly, so what I'm doing is collecting the donations in bitcoins, converting them into fiat through a local trade, then paying the donation to them.
