I'm donating 5057 BTC to charitable causes! Introducing The Pineapple Fund

[colonel_koval]

Hi

there is this greatest (in terms of media coverage, fund raising capability, and recognition, and also in terms of the good they do) charity in Poland which is called Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (Great Orchestry of Christmas Charity). It seems that the event for last year is already over, but they accept bitcoin and I have learnt about it only now.

I highly recommend it for your consideration next year. OR, you might want to contact Jerzy Owsiak, he is a very recognized person in Poland, and support his fundation mid-year.

They do a lot of good stuff for sick kids in Poland, providing public hospitals with very expensive equipment for newborns and supporting health-care and life support for the newborns with their funds.

Hi All,

I just wrote an article on Medium about the Pineapple Fund and their two match commitments that they've announced between now and March 10, 2018.  It's a great opportunity for your cryptocurrency donation to go further and support some great causes!

Yes they are a great organization and have been around for several years.  They have a great initiative that they launched last year and it seems to have progressed a good deal since that beta release called GiveTrack.  It reminds me of Kiva if you're familiar with that service, but seems to be more transparent and accountable to donors.  You should check it out: https://www.givetrack.org/

The website of the foundation is: https://bitgivefoundation.org/, they have a wealth of information about cryptocurrency and charitable giving.

Best regards,
Ben
