This is something very close to my heart... I believe in the concept of Paying it forward. A lot can be done, through a little bit of effort. I suggested to Freebitco.in to add a feature for donations to charity, and they did. This has resulted in donations of 6.55178 Bitcoins to http://www.savethechildren.net/ sofar, and I am very proud of that site for doing that. {At todays price, that is close to $2000 from a faucet!} We are also working on my own project for donations to many charities, so look out for that in the near future.  Let's Pay it Forward... Share the joy, that is Bitcoin.  |

So far I haven't done so well with accumulation or else I would definitely donate more. I'm still learning though and hope to accumulate more. I've donated about .1 total to various programmers. I usually just donate .02 at a time which is enough for a nice beverage. I hope to some day figure out a good niche for bitcoin earning and then I will be able to give back more.

I have donated some to Hal Finney's fundraiser, God rest his soul. I have also given some to friends to get them started if that counts as donations  Also, I think the thread title should be: Have you donated Bitcoin? As (to me) it doesn't matter how much - it's the thought that counts |

People are not going to miss a couple of satoshi, but with the volume they are making, it sure adds up! I hope others follow this example. Myself I don't really donate to charities, I like to support people that do charitable work directly, so I can see what the money is used for. Haven't had a chance to use bitcoin for it yet. |

Till now I've donated none.
I don't believe in charities as I have a strong feeling that the money we donate don't even goes to the needy people.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

DuckDuckGo came up with http://childrenofgodorphanage.org/donate/ and http://dofo.org/faq/ in the first 5 results for 'orphanage san diego'. Up to you to ask if they'll take the stuff you want to buy from me and have me give to them, then get a tax receipt in your name. |

I have not donated to any charities so far but I have done some small giveaways on reddit to attract new users and just for fun of it.

I haven't given any BTC to anyone yet, but I would like to. I encourage non commercial website owners to insert some code to allow tipping with BTC. There are a few websites, where I'd be happy to give, say, 0.05 BTC.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

I donate some satoshi here and there, but I figure these 'charities' spend 90% on 'operations' and 10% actually goes to the cause, so I'm not going to pad their business with my hard earned BTC. I'd rather do tipping and individual donations...
Let them eat fiat!

Well, I have donated a lot of BTC to a lot of Bitcoin Casinos , if I try to calculate the rough estimate would be around 5+ btc in last couple of months jk. I haven't donated to any such institutions yet but I will someday when I win everything I have lost so far. But I do donate fiat to some institutions so that should suffice for now. I think more people would donate BTC if they get the rebate in their tax like you get when you donate fiat. |
