Title: Crypto donation/crowdfunding/p2p campaigns for non profit org?
Post by: David8080 on December 01, 2017, 09:58:10 PM
Hello dear forum members. Long time lurker. I’ve got a big question for this forum.

Aside from BitPay, are there any processors that are donation management platforms? Basically a Classy, but for crypto?

Our non profit org uses digital photography to teach kids in the slums hard and soft skills for opportunity and advancement. We are in Kenya and S Africa, but we are a US reg 501c3.

Being able to facilitate sponsorship of our students and partners is our primary goal.

Thank you!

You simply want to receive donations? Why not just buy a hardware wallet or setup a multi signature wallet and paste the address in the site? As payment processors, we have Coinbase and CoinPayments as alternative. If you still want to have something to facilitate crowdfunding and donations only, you could try this: https://www.givetrack.org/

Well I’d like to be able to run crowdfunding and peer to peer campaigns. Also want to automate the donation receipt process.

Bitpay seems to offer a donate button with the facility to accept donations.

For on site year round we’re planning to pop up a qr code and wallet address with our cash donation platform (Classy).

Thanks!

Probably this is not of my concern, but i have never seen a non-profit organization that is LEGIT.

All of them are always trying to get as many money as they can in order to steal that. It is not because i am a bad guy, or because i do not want to see your campaign being a succes..

But we all know how greedy is the people, and most of those famous people like Lionel Messi and all the other people who are claiming to be the new Jesus just because of their donations. We all know that they are just laundering money.

And it has been happening for years, maybe decades, the non-profit organizations have been the best source for money launderers.

You shouldn't be a non-profit organization. For example some politicians are accapting donations in BTC to sponsor their campaign (ofc all politicians are bad tbh).  I don't see much sense in accepting crypto donations if the anonimity of the donator is not playing an important role. Most of the donations people send to non profit organization are pretty small (under 100$) so bitcoin fee will take a pretty big part of it.

Thank you for the editorializing. Your opinions are noted.



I am still looking for help with this topic.

If this product or platform doesn’t exist, it’s a huge void.

BitPay says they are not doing donations anymore due to compliance.
