Giving Tuesday Is Coming With BitGiveFounded in 2013 by Connie Gallippi BitGive was one of the first nonprofit charities representing the grassroots Bitcoin community. The organization has helped charity partners such as Save The Children, The Water Project, Medic Mobile, and more. The nonprofit has completed campaigns that have helped people access clean water in Kenya and the Shisango Girls School in the remote African region. The BitGive Foundations video of this event shows a lot of smiling faces from the many citizens the charity has helped in Kenya. Gallippi explains in the video, “I’m so excited to share with you how bringing clean water to their school has changed their lives,” The next step is to move forward with fundraising its Bitcoin Charity 2.0. Gallippi told the Bitcoinist:
“We are excited to participate in Giving Tuesday for the second year in a row. This year, donations will be directed to our Donation Transparency Project, the inaugural project of our Bitcoin Charity 2.0 Initiative. We are blazing new trails to leverage Blockchain technology for the nonprofit sector. This new way of giving and providing accountability to philanthropic efforts will reward the good players and set a whole new standard.” — Connie Gallippi, Founder and Executive Director.
