Hi All!
Jay here from the BitGive Foundation. We are hoping to learn more about how the bitcoin community interacts with charities. Are you interested in donating Bitcoin to a charity, how do you want to donate, what types of charities do you care about, etc?
A little background on me. I have been involved in bitcoin since 2012. Similar to most it was a curiosity at first and soon became a passion. I host bitcoin meetups, operate a full node, mine (as a hobby), work on a few bitcoin projects, and mostly am an ambassador for Bitcoin.
I was interested in the BitGive Foundation immediately when I spoke with Connie (the founder) after learning about the GiveTrack crowdfunding platform she created. I found it refreshing to learn of a web app for Bitcoin that wasn't simply a transaction for goods and services. Instead she had built a platform to take advantage of the blockchain's transparency and aligned it with the problem of donors trusting a charity. For example, how can we be sure 100% of a donation is received by a charity? Using GiveTrack you can watch the flow of donations go from donor to the charity's bitcoin wallet and on to how it is spent.
One of the challenges we have faced over the past year is funding active projects. It may be a lack of awareness in the community, but we've never reached out directly and asked.
If you have a free moment (about a minute), we would love your feedback on a quick six question survey. Please comment below with any questions and I will reply back as quickly as possible.
Thanks so much!
