I just wrote to Unicef asking if they'd start accepting bitcoin donations, along with a hyper-summarised description of what BTC are and how they can be either used or exchanged for paper currencies.
I'm pretty sure I'll either be ignored or will get a reply saying they have no intention of accepting BTC.
Does anyone know of a service where one can send bitcoins and they will relay them as a donation to the organisation of one's choice?
I think the same thing, charities like UNICEF are not taking advantage of bitcoin enough. So I decided to add donations to the Canadian Red Cross (
http://yestobitcoins.com/canadian-red-cross/) and Unicef (
http://yestobitcoins.com/unicef-canada/) to my site. This service (converting the Bitcoin donation into dollars and submitting them UNICEF Canada or the Canadian Red Cross) is my contribution. Donations are transmitted in full to UNICEF Canada or the Canadian Red Cross and I will provide the them with the provided information for them to issue a receipt to the donor.
I hope this helps to their mission
